From Turkey, Egypt warned Hamas leaders weeks before Doha attack — report
Turkish and Egyptian interlocutors warned Hamas’s political leadership to tighten security around their meetings in the weeks before Israel’s attack on the group in Doha yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing interviews with officials from Israel, the US, Qatar and other Arab countries.
According to the report, 10 jets were deployed to fire long-range munitions at a house in the Qatari capital where Hamas’s political leadership had gathered to discuss the latest ceasefire proposal for Gaza.
The jets fired the missiles from outside Qatari airspace and also did not breach the airspace of Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates, the broadsheet reports.
US officials tell the newspaper that Israel informed the US of the attack minutes before the launch, and did not disclose the target.
