A senior Qatari official survived the “Doha attack” by chance!

A high Qatari source revealed to the newspaper “Yediot Aharonot” that the Israeli raid that targeted Doha, and almost killed the lives of Hamas leaders, also almost ended the life of a prominent Qatari official.

According to the source, the official was supposed to be in the targeted building an hour or two from the strike, but his absence prevented the crisis from worsening. He explained that this official is a prominent and close figure of Qatari Prime Minister Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani.

For its part, Hamas announced that the deputy head of the movement of the movement of Khalil Al -Hayya was not injured in the attack, stressing that the victims who fell, including the son of the al -Hayya, were from a team that was preparing for a meeting with the leadership of the movement, and some of them came from Türkiye to discuss an initiative put forward by US President Donald Trump.

In Israel, security sources criticized the decision to implement the attack, considering that the operation involved intelligence and diplomatic risks even if it succeeded. These sources indicated that targeting the building revealed special capabilities for Israel, including its knowledge of sites used as “safe houses” for Hamas in the Qatari capital.

The process also raised questions inside Israel about its goals; Experts asked: Was it possible that the killing of Hamas leaders would have accelerated the release of Israeli prisoners in Gaza? Did the government assume that Qatar You will ignore a widespread violation of her sovereignty?

After the attack, some Israeli official sources promoted a narration that the Hamas Political Bureau in Doha was a “basic obstacle” in front of the completion of the prisoner exchange deal, and that its targeting aims to enhance opportunities to reach an agreement by focusing the decision in the hands of Izz al -Din Haddad, the leader of the movement’s military wing. However, this novel contradicts what is known about the role of the movement’s political bureau and its relationship to the leadership of Gaza during the past two years.
