**Israeli Strike in Doha Kills Six, Hamas Leaders Reportedly Survive**
**Doha, Qatar** – An Israeli military strike on a residential complex in Doha, Qatar, has resulted in the deaths of six people, including five members of Hamas and a Qatari officer, according to official statements. While the Israeli military described the attack as “precise” and reports suggest it targeted senior Hamas figures, Hamas claims none of its senior leadership or negotiating delegation was eliminated.
The strike reportedly aimed to kill Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas’s exiled Gaza leader and a key negotiator, and Zaher Jabarin, the group’s chief financial administrator. Both men are reportedly still alive. Khalil al-Hayya has risen in prominence following the deaths of top Hamas leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar and Mohammed Deif.
Among those killed in the attack was Humam, the son of al-Hayya. According to Qatar, Corporal Bader Saad Mohammed al-Humaidi al-Dosari, a member of the Internal Security Force (Lekhwiya) was also killed.
The attack comes after a series of losses for Hamas leadership, prompting the formation of a temporary five-member leadership council. In addition to al-Hayya and Jabarin, Khaled Meshaal and Awadallah are also part of the leadership council.
Following the attack, the United States denied any involvement. The incident is likely to further escalate tensions in the region.
