The Israeli military said it targeted senior Hamas leaders on Tuesday (September 9, 2025), after AFP journalists in Doha reported explosions and smoke rising above the Qatari capital, where the Palestinian group’s political bureau is based.
“The IDF (Israeli military) and ISA (security agency) conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organisation,” the military said, without specifying where the strike took place.
Qatar condemned the attacks, which it described as a “cowardly” Israeli strike targeting residential buildings housing members of Palestinian militant group Hamas’s political bureau.
“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.
