Tel Aviv: Israel has officially confirmed that on September 9, an assassination operation was carried out against senior Hamas figures on Qatari soil, in the capital Doha.Â
The aim of the operation carried out by the Air Force was to blow up the headquarters of the Hamas terrorist organisation, against the organisation’s senior figures. The results of the attack are still not clear.
The explosion took place in the Katara district of the capital and eyewitnesses reported smoke rising above the explosion area. So far, there have been no reports of casualties from Qatar, which is still maintaining its silence.
Israeli officials are using the term “retaliatory action” against senior Hamas figures. A Hamas delegation is currently in Qatar to discuss the details of the hostages deal.
