Israeli intelligence has distanced itself from the recent military operation against Qatar, which aimed at top leaders of Hamas. According to various Israeli media sources, the operation was met with opposition from certain members of the Israeli negotiating team.
As reported by Israeli Public Broadcasting, some officials expressed their disagreement with the attack on Qatar, noting that there remains potential for progress in ongoing discussions.
Earlier today, Israel conducted an airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, where they were reportedly convening to discuss the latest U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. For several years, the city has served as a political base for the movement.
Israeli military aircraft struck residential buildings associated with Hamas’ political bureau, leading to approximately ten explosions being heard in the area. Shortly thereafter, the Israeli Defense Forces released a statement confirming that they had targeted the “high command” of Hamas through a “precise strike” in a joint operation with the internal security service, Shin Bet.
