Israel targets Hamas leadership in attack on Qatar’s Doha

 The Israeli army says it has carried out an assassination attempt on top Hamas leaders in Qatar’s capital, Doha, where multiple explosions have been heard.

A Hamas source tells Al Jazeera the attack happened as a negotiating team was discussing a Gaza ceasefire proposal put forward by the United States.

Qatar condemns the “cowardly” Israeli attack, calls it a flagrant violation of international law.

At least 35 people, including seven aid seekers, have been killed by Israeli forces across the Gaza Strip, medical sources say.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 64,605 people and wounded 163,319 since October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be under the rubble. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
