Analysis and Strategic Implications


Al Jazeera reports, citing a senior Hamas official, that the Hamas leadership headed by Khalil al-Hayya, which had convened in Qatar, survived the strike.

However, the Saudi channel Al-Hadath had reported earlier that several senior Hamas figures — including Khalil al-Hayya, Khaled Mashaal, Zaher Jabarin, and Nizar Awadallah — had been martyred in the aggression.

Two Hamas sources told Reuters news agency that members of the Hama's negotiation delegation in Doha survived the attack.

Palestinian media reported that two people were killed in the Israeli airstrike in Doha, but senior Hamas leaders were not.

Reports name the dead as Himam al-Hayya, the son of Hamas leader in Gaza Khalil al-Hayya, and Jihad Labad, the director of Khalil al-Hayya’s office.

According to the reports, no other Palestinians were killed in the attack.

It was later reported by Al Jazeera that Suhail al-Hindi, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, confirmed that the group’s leadership that was targeted in Doha had survived the attack.

Al-Hindi told Al Jazeera repeatedly that the group’s leaders are okay.

Israeli regime said that its fighter jets conducted aerial aggression on Hamas leadership in Doha.

Israeli media channel 'Kann' said the terror operation in Doha was carried out with the help of US intelligence.
