Israel’s military said Tuesday it carried out an airstrike targeting Hamas leadership, without saying where.
The announcement came as an explosion could be heard in Doha, Qatar’s capital.
Al Jazeera, the Qatar-funded broadcaster, acknowledged the blasts. However, it didn’t say what caused the blast. Qatari officials couldn’t be immediately reached for comment.
Hamas’ exiled leadership has long been based in Qatar, which has served as a mediator in talks between Hamas and Israel for several years, even before the latest war in the Gaza Strip.
A strike on its top leadership could further complicate negotiations over a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages taken in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas.
