According to Abu Saleh most of the deaths are a result of the stampede running away after the blasts (which were about a mile away from the grave and from each other, if I understand correctly from the map he posted).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The Iranians have started digging around the area and have since found 512 more bodies. The count is expected to rise following more digging throughout the night...

Don't think this belongs in this thread, as Israel has likely zero to do with it. Most likely internal dissidents of the Mullah regime, of which there are a lot (unlike Gaza and Judea and Samaria).

Although, Iran is responsible for all the trouble in the Mid East, so I guess the regime falling will affect the Israel-Hamas war, too.

It does because

23,000 Iranian civilians have been killed in terrorist attacks over the last four decades.

17,000 of them were killed by the Western-backed MEK.
And it's only news because

בארגון הטרור אישרו באופן רשמי כי באירוע שבו חוסל בכיר חמאס אל-עארורי, חוסלו גם הפעילים מחמוד שאהין, מוחמד בשאשה, מוחמד א-ריס ואחמד חמוד.

Source is claimed to be Hamas

This was quiet the operation. Al-Arouri was killed at his car, the others in the office across the street. Nobody else was killed.

This was quiet the decision.
FTFY he probably assumed the israeli's wouldn't kill him bec. Biden wants calm. They made a big decision to do so anyway. As far as the operation itself ,it was by his office in plain sight. Not very difficult.

I am not sure this video is from this elimination.

I think the aftermath pictures show a different building/scene.

I recommend following Abu Saleh on Telegram. He verifies information and is extremely knowledgeable and capable.

I believe he posted yesterday that it was a single guided missile.

I was looking for photos of the precision and I found that video.
