New Footage Surfaces of Alleged Israeli Strike on Hamas Leaders in Qatar
A year after an alleged Israeli strike targeted Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar, new security camera footage has been released by Al-Arabi TV, a Qatari channel. The video reportedly shows the moment of impact at a secure house and the significant blast wave.
The incident, which occurred exactly one year prior on September 9th, targeted a gathering of senior Hamas officials who were reportedly discussing an American proposal for a ceasefire and hostage release. The strike took place in Doha, the capital of Qatar, not far from a major U.S. military base.
The newly released footage depicts the explosion at the house, with significant smoke billowing afterward. The force of the blast, as seen in the video, even shook cars and buildings in the vicinity.
At the time, the alleged Israeli attack caused significant tension between Israel and the United States, with the White House reportedly expressing shock and anger. The strike occurred while the U.S. was awaiting Hamas's response to a new proposal from President Trump concerning a ceasefire and a hostage deal in Gaza. The report indicates the Israeli attempt to eliminate the Hamas leadership was unsuccessful.
