The Israeli Defence Forces “conducted a precise strike” targeting the “senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organisation,” a statement read, without detailing who the operation was targeting.

The statement came as videos on social media showing explosions on the Doha horizon. Smoke was seen rising over the Qatari capital in the district of Katara.

Several senior Hamas officials live in Doha, many of whom are active in ongoing ceasefire negotiations that are hosted in Qatar.

Israel has threatened to target all the leaders of the group behind the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel, which killed 1,200 people and saw more than 250 kidnapped, sparking an ongoing war.

“For years, these members of the Hamas leadership have led the terrorist organisation’s operations, are directly responsible for the brutal October 7th massacre, and have been orchestrating and managing the war against the State of Israel,” the military statement released on Tuesday read.

In July last year, Israel targeted Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital of Tehran.
