Israel Targets Hamas Leaders in Doha, Blatant Violation of Qatar’s Sovereignty
"The Israeli airstrikes targeted the Hamas negotiation team; Qatar condemned the attack as reckless aggression and a violation of sovereignty.
Qatar, PUREWILAYAH.COM - The Israeli occupation army, working alongside the Shin Bet security agency, launched a wave of precision missile strikes on the homes and offices of senior Hamas political bureau members in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday.
The assault, code-named “Peak of Fire”, saw at least 12 missiles slam into the targeted sites, shaking the city with thunderous explosions. Zionist media claimed the attack aimed at Hamas leaders Khalil Al-Hayya, Zaher Al-Jabbarin, and Khaled Meshaal.
Deliberate Strike on the Negotiation Process
Hamas confirmed the strikes were a calculated attempt to assassinate its negotiation delegation in the middle of a meeting discussing a Gaza ceasefire proposal from US President Donald Trump.
Hamas sources told Al Jazeera that all targeted leaders survived, though there were martyrs and wounded at the scene.
They described the attack as a blow to the entire negotiation process, proof of Israel’s criminal intentions, and a direct message of intimidation to Qatar and the entire Gulf region—marking “the peak of Israeli arrogance.”
Qatar’s Strong Rebuke
The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs labeled the assault a criminal act and a blatant violation of sovereignty, warning that it endangered citizens and residents alike.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari vowed that Qatar “will not tolerate any action targeting its security and sovereignty.”
Security forces, civil defense, and emergency services were immediately deployed to contain the aftermath and secure the area.
Ceasefire Mediation Suspended
Qatar announced it is freezing its mediation role in Gaza ceasefire talks—efforts that have underpinned every major truce and prisoner exchange between the Palestinian Resistance and the Zionist entity.
Resistance Defiance
The Islamic Jihad movement condemned the attack as a shameless violation of international law, noting the hypocrisy of the Zionist regime targeting Hamas leaders in Doha while having its own delegation in the same city for negotiations.
Hamas leaders reaffirmed their resolve: “We have dedicated our lives to God and to our cause—no assassination attempt will break our will.” (PW)
