, Sept. 9 -- Israel has carried out a strike on senior Hamas leaders in Qatar's capital Doha

A Hamas official says its negotiating team was targeted in the attack, reports BBC.

Qatar's foreign ministry says the attack is a "blatant violation" of international law, adding it "will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behaviour and the continuous tampering with the security of the region"

The IDF says it "conducted a precise strike" and those targeted "are directly responsible for the brutal October 7 massacre"

The Hamas negotiating team is based in Doha; they have not been involved in any indirect negotiations with Israel since July.
