Israel targets top Hamas officials in Qatar strike...

Israel on Tuesday carried out an attack on senior Hamas officials in Qatar's capital city of Doha. The Israel Defense Forces announced the "precise strike" in a social media post, accusing the targeted leaders of being "directly responsible" for the massacre of Israelis by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. The IDF's post did not identify the location of the strike. But Majed al Ansari, the spokesman for Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, condemned "the cowardly Israeli attack that targeted residential headquarters housing several members of the political bureau of the movement in the Qatari capital, Doha." "This criminal assault constitutes a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms, and a serious threat to the security and safety of Qataris and residents in Qatar," the spokesman said in a translated X post.
