Israeli Airstrike in Doha Kills Senior Hamas Officials, Including Khalil Al-Hayya's Son

A rare Israeli airstrike targeted Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar, killing five members including Hammam Khalil Al-Hayya, son of senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya, and Khalil al-Hayya's office manager Jihad Lubad. Despite reports from some sources claiming Khalil al-Hayya was killed, Hamas officials and Qatari authorities confirmed that al-Hayya survived the attack, which also injured several civilians. The strike was part of Israel's ongoing efforts to eliminate senior Hamas figures abroad, following the killings of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran and Yahya Sinwar in Gaza. Hamas leaders were reportedly meeting in Doha to discuss a new US ceasefire proposal for Gaza when the attack occurred. The incident has drawn condemnation from multiple countries, including Pakistan, the UAE, and Turkey, highlighting concerns about violations of Qatar's sovereignty and potential escalation in the Gulf region. Israel's military continues to assert its intent to target Hamas leadership wherever they are located outside Gaza.
