Hamas official Osama Hamdan, who is usually based in Lebanon, and another senior member of the terror group, Izzat al-Rishq, who has been residing in Qatar in recent years, were spotted at the funeral in Doha of the five Hamas members and the Qatari security officer killed in a strike. The two appeared in photos published by Hamas.
Other senior leaders – including those initially rumored to have been killed, such as Hamas’s chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, top official Khaled Mashaal, and Hamas West Bank leader Zaher Jabarin – have not been seen so far at the funeral.
