Initial Reports are now suggesting that the Attack earlier tonight in the Iranian Capital of Tehran that Killed the Chief Political Leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, was an Israeli Precision Airstrike on his Home within the City.

I think you’re right in terms of so-called kinetic acts, however, every scrap of intelligence they can gather and discretely pass along will be front of mind, and no doubt helpful. Hell, could be Druze helped out locating Shukr today. Wouldn’t dismiss the possibility.
