Israel said to carry out strike on Hamas leadership in Qatar

The explosion in Qatar’s capital of Doha is the result of an Israeli strike on Hamas leaders in the city, unnamed senior Israeli officials tell Hebrew media.

Most of Hamas’s leadership in Gaza has been killed in the war that began on October 7, 2023, while the terror group’s political leadership abroad has mostly been untouched.

Qatar serves as one of the two Arab countries, along with Egypt, mediating talks between Israel and Hamas.
