Growing Israeli security establishment assessment is that Doha strike failed

Channel 12 reports that the Israeli security establishment’s growing assessment is that the Tuesday strike aimed at killing Hamas’s leadership in Qatar failed. It says this is the message that has been conveyed to the US, and is what Israeli ministers have been told.

The report has not been confirmed.

The most recent indications received by the Israeli security establishment are that the majority of the targets of the operation were not killed, the report says.

An unnamed Israeli official cited by the network says Jerusalem still hopes that some of the targets were ultimately killed.

Security officials discussing the strike are checking whether insufficient explosives were used or whether the Hamas officials managed to move to a different part of the targeted building before the bombs fell.

Ministers were also told today that Israel is not optimistic about the results of the strike and that a similar message was conveyed to Washington, the network says.
