The Israeli army and Shin Bet issued a joint statement saying that the Israeli air force had targeted Hamas leadership.
The statement did not mention Qatar by name, but it followed reports of powerful explosions in Doha, where Hamas’s top leaders are based. Axios confirmed the information, but there was no immediate word on casualties or injuries.
“These leaders have been directing the terrorist organization’s operations for years and are directly responsible for the October 7 massacre and the war it unleashed against Israel,” the statement said.
The military said the strike used precision-guided munitions and special reconnaissance to minimize civilian casualties.
