'apparent Israeli attack' - in LEAD isn't supported by source given
The 'apparent Israeli attack' - in LEAD isn't supported by the source given. The source given is an speculative non-analyst oppinion peace and apparently not good/standard quality journalism. There ara only speculations sourrounding the attack that led to assasination of Haniyeh - and these speculation vary and change in time until today. This bullshit WP-statement must be changed; e.g. blamed on Israel by "Iran and the militant group" -- that would be supported by the mouth-piece source given -2A01:5241:345:E600:4A2A:FAAE:5ECD:A3FF (talk) 11:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Suspicious image
Does the Iranian propaganda poster inserted twice in violation of 1RR have any constructive value to this article or is it just a repetitive rambling that has already been mentioned throughout the article? Not to mention the fact that the source of this pic has had a history of inserting incoherent and POV writing. Borgenland (talk) 05:05, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
Suggestion: Hyperlink "Ansar al-Mahdi" to "Intelligence Protection Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps"; expand on what the Ansar-al-Mahdi Protection Unit is
The article contains two sentences referencing Ansar al-Mahdi:
1. "IRGC believes that three explosives were planted in three separate rooms of the guesthouse by agents of Iran's own Ansar al-Mahdi protection unit who were recruited by the Mossad"
2. "two IRGC members recruited from the Ansar al-Mahdi security unit as inside agents in charge of securing the building and its guests"
It would be useful if we provided some description for a reader as to what Ansar al-Mahdi is. According to this article from 2019, Ansar al-Mahdi is more formally the Ansar-al-Mahdi Protection Unit and is a subsidiary of the Intelligence Protection Organization of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps which is "responsible for the safety of high-ranking officials (with the exception of the supreme leader) inside and outside the country, and the protection of important state and religious buildings."

Potential undue weight
In section "Assassination" subsection "Method" there is a whole paragraph devoted to The Jewish Chronicles version which seems like a fairy tale if you read it while more reliable and notable sources like NYT have only half of that AlexBobCharles (talk) 08:21, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- The Jewish Chronicle is not RS generally, certainly not for these articles, which have an abundance of mainstream sourcesz to draw on.Nishidani (talk) 09:26, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've removed the material for now, per this thread and WP:ECREE, which certainly requires more than a single source to present such claims. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:31, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
