They didn't want to invade Qatar.

He was leaving Qatar here and there with his private jet.

This is such an embarrassment for Iran.

What's the reason for the timing of the strike? He wasn't hiding at all until now.

Because I'm an expert in military strategy, I'd wager the idea was to send a message to Tehran. He met with Khameini today and then was killed in Tehran the same day. Nobody is safe, no matter where they are.

Unless you're in Qatar. Then we won't touch you, for some reason. There must be some sort of under the table agreement there.

Message for Iran can makes sense, but he was in Iran already recently, for the funeral of the killed in the Damascus embassy strike. Perhaps the message to Iran was now a higher priority than that time.

Eta, Haniyah's attendance was likely at Raisi's funeral.

I'm just making up stuff, but Hizbullah just killed 12 people. That changes a lot. So either they can just keep doing what they usually do and hit some targets, or they can finally go and embarrass Iran. I hope they're not finished.

They've been watching him for years. It’s possible they didn’t have a good clean shot that time around.

Why/how isn't there any images or footage from the scene? This happened apparently 2am local time.

Just noting that hezbollah/iran/hamas didn't get any more evil today over last week. The fact they need to wait for 12 dead before taking out a high value target is ridiculous

A reminder that the 2 successfull jobs within 24 hours come after a successful hit on Houthi infrastructure a week earlier. We need to see more terror infrastructure destroyed.

The Israelis are finally learning to speak Arabic!

Agreed. Though it is entirely possible they didn't have a clear opportunity until now.

We know they've been targeting Deif for years, long before this war, and it took until a few weeks ago to get him.

Wondering the same. Why wouldn't they target him in Qatar? It's not that he was hiding..

And even if let's they they did not want to do anything over Qatar soil, why not bring down his private plane? He used fly all over..
