Qatar has condemned a “cowardly Israeli attack” on a Hamas headquarters in Doha, describing it as a violation of international law.
"The State of Qatar strongly condemns the cowardly Israeli attack that targeted residential buildings housing several members of the Political Bureau of Hamas in the Qatari capital, Doha," Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said in a post on X.
Al Jazeera, quoting a senior Hamas official, reported that Hamas negotiators were among those hit in the strike.
Axios, citing Israeli officials, said the explosions were an assassination attempt targeting Hamas leaders.
"Israel conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas organisation," the Israeli military said, without specifying where the strike took place.
Footage on social media showed smoke rising on the horizon, but it was not immediately clear what had exploded.
