Has Israel attacked Qatar?
UPDATE 9:42 AM EDT --
Word is pouring out of the capital city Doha in the country of Qatar making claims of a Doble-cross.
According to sources in Doha, the entire political bureau of HAMAS was called to a meeting in Doha, to agree to President Donald Trump's latest peace proposal to settle the troubles in GAZA. When the meeting convened, the sources say Israel ATTACKED the meeting. It appears Israeli fighter jets flew into Qatar air space and bombed the capital city.
It is believed that many, if not ALL, of the HAMAS political bureau, are dead.
UPDATE 9:55 AM EDT --
It is CONFIRMED. This was an Israeli attack upon the Capital city of Qatar. Israel is now openly admitting it, they called it "Operation Summit of Fire."
Once again, Israel bombs peace negotiations, and has done so in someone else's country.
Worse: The United States knew about the attack, gave a "Green light" and also reportedly provided real-time intelligence to make certain all the people that Israel wanted to kill, had arrived at the location to be bombed.
UPDATE 1:47 PM EDT --
Statement Issued by Hamas movement.
The treacherous attempt by the Zionist occupation to assassinate the Hamas delegation negotiating in the Qatari capital, Doha, today is a heinous crime and a blatant aggression, and a clear violation of all norms and international laws.
This crime represented an aggression against the sovereignty of the sisterly state of Qatar, which, along with sisterly Egypt, plays an important and responsible role in sponsoring mediation and efforts to stop aggression and reach an agreement to cease fire and exchange prisoners, which once again reveals the criminal nature of the occupation and its desire to undermine any opportunities for agreement.
We confirm that the enemy failed to assassinate the brothers in the negotiating delegation, while a number of brotherly martyrs rose to the highest glory, including:
* Martyr Jihad Labad (Abu Balal) - Director of Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya's office
* Martyr Hammam Al-Hayya (Abu Yahya) - Son of Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya
* Martyr Abdullah Abdul Wahid (Abu Khalil) - Escort
* Martyr Muamen Husuna (Abu Omar) - Escort
* Martyr Ahmed Al-Mamluk (Abu Malik) - Escort
We also mourn the martyrdom of Sergeant Badr Saad Muhammad Al-Humaidi, a member of the Qatari Internal Security (Lekhwiya).
We ask God to envelop them in His vast mercy and settle them in His spacious gardens.
The targeting of the negotiating delegation at a time when it is discussing the latest proposal by US President Donald Trump confirms without a doubt that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement, and that they are deliberately seeking to abort all opportunities and thwart international efforts, without regard for the lives of their prisoners with the resistance, or for state sovereignty, or for regional security and stability.
We hold the US administration jointly responsible with the occupation for this crime due to its constant support for aggression and occupation crimes against our people.
This crime has proven that the Zionist occupation is a looming danger to the region and the world, and that Netanyahu is trying to erase our national cause and our people's rights, pushing them towards forced displacement, continuing his criminal plans for extermination, ethnic cleansing, starvation, and displacement.
We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) call on countries around the world, the United Nations, and all living forces and free consciences to condemn this criminal aggression against sisterly Qatar and to urgently pressure the occupation to stop its war of extermination and ethnic cleansing, bring justice to our Palestinian people, and support their legitimate right to freedom and self-determination.
The cowardly assassination attempt will not change our clear positions and demands: immediate cessation of aggression against our people, complete withdrawal of the occupation army from Gaza Strip, real prisoner exchange, relief for our people, and reconstruction.
We affirm that these terrorist crimes will not undermine our movement's determination or divert us from adhering to our people's national rights or continuing on the path of resistance until occupation ends on our land and we establish our independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
