#7  I prefer the bomb narrative as it makes me giggle to think he got his pee-pee blown off from the bomb mattress.

#6  Hmmmm. Telegram I trust, NYT not so much. What I read, author was excited and proud that they were able to navigate the missile through the window with a small ordinance to destroy the room and kill Haniyeh but not inflict casualties from elsewhere in the house.
