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 residence 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 captures the explosion at the targeted house, showing extensive smoke and a blast wave that shook nearby cars and buildings. This alleged Israeli operation reportedly caused significant tension between Israel and the United States, with the White House expressing shock and anger at the time.
The strike occurred while the U.S. was awaiting Hamas's response to a new ceasefire and hostage deal proposal from President Trump. The report indicates that the attempted assassination failed.
