Al-Hindi: Hamas leadership in Qatar survives assassination attempt

DOHA, (The Palestinian Information Center)Suhail al-Hindi, member of Hamas’s political bureau, confirmed that the Movement’s leadership in Doha survived a cowardly assassination attempt carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, who targeted residences of Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital on Tuesday.

Al-Hindi revealed that the strike occurred during a meeting of the negotiation team discussing the US ceasefire proposal, emphasizing that the leadership narrowly escaped the attack.

He pointed to the martyrdom of Humam al-Hayya, son of Khalil al-Hayya, and his office director, Jihad Labad.

He stressed that “the Israeli bombardment targeted every free person in this world,” calling on “the free world to speak out.”

Al-Hindi held the US administration responsible for the attack, while also affirming that Hamas had responded positively to the American proposal.

He concluded, “We will not raise the white flag, we will not lay down our arms, and we will resist the occupier with full force.”

Meanwhile, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior said that “the sounds heard in Doha were due to the targeting of a residential site belonging to Hamas.”

The ministry added that “specialized teams are carrying out their duties. The situation is secure, and we urge everyone to rely on official sources for information.”

In a statement, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned “Israel’s cowardly attack targeting residential sites of several Hamas political bureau members in Doha.”

Meanwhile, the Israeli airstrike on Doha drew worldwide condemnation, most of which expressed solidarity with Qatar and denounced the Israeli attack as a violation of the international law.
