According to a report by The Times of Israel, several senior Hamas leaders were believed to be inside a building in Doha when it was hit by an Israeli airstrike.
The strike allegedly targeted a high-level meeting of Hamas officials, though authorities have yet to provide official confirmation regarding the operation or the identities of those involved.
Among the reported attendees was Khalil al-Hayya, the senior Hamas leader in Gaza, who has played a key role in guiding the organization’s political and military strategies. Al-Hayya’s presence highlights the strategic significance of the gathering, which reportedly included other top figures in the group’s leadership.
Senior Hamas members believed to have been present include Zaher Jabarin, who leads Hamas operations in the West Bank, Muhammad Darwish, chair of Hamas’s Shura Council, and Khaled Mashaal, head of Hamas’s activities abroad. These figures collectively form the core decision-making body of the organization, overseeing both regional and international operations.
No official statements have been released by Israeli or Qatari authorities to confirm the identities of those present or to detail any casualties resulting from the strike. The absence of confirmation leaves the full scope of the operation and its immediate consequences unclear.
The reported strike marks a significant escalation in Israel’s ongoing campaign against Hamas, extending military action beyond Gaza to locations housing the organization’s senior leadership abroad. Analysts note that such operations carry heightened diplomatic and security risks, particularly in Qatar, which has maintained relations with Hamas and often plays a role in mediating regional conflicts.
By reportedly targeting a gathering of top leaders, Israel appears to aim at disrupting Hamas’s command structure and reducing the group’s operational capabilities.
Observers caution that, without official verification, the reported presence of Hamas leaders at the site and the results of the strike remain unconfirmed.
