What do jogos de fazer som automotivowe know about Israeli strike on Hamas in Qatar? 5 hours agoShareSaveFiona NimoniShareSave0:23CCTV captures moment of Israeli attack on Hamas leaders in DohaIsrael carried out a strike on senior Hamas leaders in Qatar's capital, Doha, on Tuesday afternoon. Qatar quickly accused Israel of "reckless" behaviour and breaking international law after the attack on a residential premises in the city. The Israel Defense Forces claimed to have targeted those "directly responsible for the brutal October 7 massacre". Here is what we know so far.Latest updates on Doha strikeHow and where was attack carried out? ReutersExplosions were heard and smoke was seen rising above the Qatari capital Doha early on Tuesday afternoon. Verified footage showed smoke rising from a heavily-damaged section of a complex next to Woqod petrol station on Wadi Rawdan Street, close to the West Bay Lagoon district north of central Doha.According to the Israeli military, it conducted a "precise strike" targeted at Hamas senior leaders in Qatar using "precise munitions". Israeli media says the operation involved 15 Israeli fighter jets, firing 10 munitions against a single target.Qatar has hosted Hamas's political bureau since 2012 and has played a key role in facilitating indirect negotiations between the group and Israel since the 7 October attacks. Who was hit in the attack? Hamas said members of the group's negotiating delegation in Doha were targeted but survived the strike. However Hamas said six others, including a Qatari security official, were killed. According to Hamas, those killed were:Humam Al-Hayya (Abu Yahya) - son of chief negotiator al-HayyaJihad Labad (Abu Bilal) - director of al-Hayya's officeAbdullah Abdul Wahid (Abu Khalil)Moamen Hassouna (Abu Omar)Ahmed Al-Mamluk (Abu Malik)Corporal Badr Saad Mohammed Al-Humaidi - Qatari internal security forces "We confirm the enemy's failure to assassinate our brothers in the negotiating delegation," a Hamas statement said. It added the strike "confirms beyond doubt that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement" for peace.Earlier in a post on X, Israel's President Isaac Herzog says it was "important and correct" to target Hamas's leadership, and then condemned Khalil al-Hayya - Hamas's chief negotiator and exiled Gaza leader - without confirming he was a direct target.A senior Israeli official told Israeli media that al-Hayya was one of those targeted, as well as Zaher Jabarin, the exiled West Bank leader.What did the US know and did Trump give a 'green light'? The office for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put out a statement shortly after the strike, claiming the attack was "a wholly independent Israeli operation"."Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility," the statement said.The White House also quickly confirmed it was informed of the operation, almost certainly because of the proximity of the huge US airbase at al-Udeid, just outside Doha.In a post on Truth Social some hours after the attack, Donald Trump said the strike was "a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me".The president said as soon as he was notified of the attack, he "immediately directed" US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to inform Qatar, but said the notification was made "too late" to stop it."I view Qatar as a strong Ally and friend of the U.S., and feel very badly about the location of the attack," he said in the post, adding that he had assured its leaders that "such a thing will not happen again on their soil".He added: "Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America's goals. However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal."Questions remain over how the attack on sovereign Qatari soil will affect the al-Udeid US airbase and US relations with all its Gulf Arab allies. What were Hamas leaders doing in Qatar?Qatar has acted as a mediator between Israel and Hamas and has hosted negotiations between them since October 2023.A couple of days ago, Hamas said it welcomed "some ideas" from the US about how to reach a Gaza ceasefire agreement that it received through mediators. It said it was in discussion about how to turn them "into a comprehensive agreement that meets the needs of our people".It's thought likely the targeted Hamas leaders were in the middle of discussing their formal response to the US ideas.A Palestinian official earlier told the BBC the US plan would see the 48 remaining hostages in Gaza freed in the first 48 hours of a 60-day truce in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and good-faith negotiations on a permanent ceasefire.How has Qatar reacted?In Doha, the Qatari government reacted with fury, calling the attack reckless and cowardly, and a blatant violation of all international laws and norms."While the State of Qatar strongly condemns this assault, it confirms that it will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behaviour and the ongoing disruption of regional security, nor any act that targets its security and sovereignty," a statement from its foreign ministry said.Similar statements of outrage came from across the Arab world.UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres also condemned "this flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar".Middle EastIsrael-Gaza warIsraelPalestinian territoriesGaza
