Israeli military confirms attack in Doha, says target was Hamas leaders

The Israeli military has confirmed that in cooperation with Israel’s domestic security agency Shin Bet, its air force has carried out an assassination attempt on top Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital.

It claimed the unnamed Hamas members who were attacked led the organisation’s activities for years, adding that it will continue to act to “defeat the Hamas terrorist organisation”.

The attack comes days after Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir threatened to assassinate Hamas leaders living abroad and hours after Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Israel has accepted a Gaza ceasefire proposal offered by the US.
