Iranians were lured by Mossad promises of generous cash reward, relocation to northern Europe.
Mossad agents reportedly offered two members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) six-figure sums of money and immediate repatriation, including new identities, in exchange for their help in assassinating Hamas politburo head Ismail Haniyeh, according to a new report.
Although previous reports stated that Haniyeh was killed by a projectile fired from outside of Iranian soil or by a bomb planted in the Tehran guesthouse where he was killed months before his visit, the Jewish Chronicle reported a different version of events.
Two IRGC members, who were recruited by Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad, placed a 3 inch by 6 inch “flat brick explosive” under Haniyeh’s bed.
