In a dramatic escalation, Israel targeted Hamas leaders in a residential area of Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday, killing five members of the group. However, the Hamas negotiating team—reportedly discussing a U.S.-backed Gaza ceasefire proposal—survived the strike. 🚨
What We Know So Far
The attack marks the first time Israel has struck Qatar’s capital, raising questions about regional tensions. Hamas confirmed the deaths but emphasized its negotiation team remains intact, calling the strike a "failed assassination attempt." Meanwhile, Israel has not officially claimed responsibility.
What’s Next?
With U.S. mediators pushing for a Gaza truce, the strike complicates already fragile diplomacy. Analysts say the move could strain Israel-Qatar relations, as Doha has long served as a mediator between Hamas and Western nations. 🔍 "This is a high-stakes gamble," one regional expert told us.
