Hamas has confirmed the killing of six people, including a member of Qatari security forces, in an Israeli attack on the Qatari capital, Doha. Hamas said its negotiating team survived the attack but the son of the group's chief negotiator, Khalil al-Haya, was among those killed.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump assured Qatari leaders in a statement that such a thing would not happen again on their soil. At the same time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the attack was carried out by targeting Hamas' senior leadership.
Netanyahu said that our attack in Doha was in revenge for the shooting of Israelis at a Jerusalem bus stop and the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023. Qatar has long been a haven for Hamas leaders.
