Israel carried out a precision strike on high-ranking Hamas leaders in Qatar, which it claims was a direct response to last month’s attacks in Jerusalem.
Izraeli Attack on Hamas Leaders in Qatar
Israeli forces conducted a targeted strike on Hamas leaders in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on September 9th. The IDF announced that the operation aimed to eliminate senior Hamas commanders. Explosions were heard in the area where the organization’s political bureau is located.
Qatar’s Reaction to Israeli Attack
Qatar’s foreign minister, Majed Al-Ansari, condemned the Israeli attack on his country’s soil. In a statement, he emphasized that such actions violate international laws and norms and threaten the safety of Qatar’s residents. Al-Ansari also confirmed that Qatar unequivocally condemns the attack.
UN Secretary General’s Response
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called the attack a “blatant violation” of Qatar’s sovereignty. He expressed concern over Israel’s military actions in the country, particularly since Qatar has played a positive role in achieving a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
