Amid growing signs that the Israeli strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar on Tuesday failed, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hints strongly that they are still alive and should be targeted again.
“The Hamas terrorists cheifs [sic] living in Qatar don’t care about the people in Gaza,” writes Netanyahu on X.
“They blocked all ceasefire attempts in order to endlessly drag out the war,” he continues.
“Getting rid of them would rid the main obstacle to releasing all our hostages and ending the war,” he concludes in a post uncharacteristically containing a typo, written shortly after the end of Shabbat.

Hamas has said its leaders were not killed in the strike in Doha, which drew international condemnation.
