Al Jazeera, citing a senior Hamas official, reported that the Hamas leadership gathered in Qatar, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, survived the Israeli strike. The official did not specify whether any members were injured or killed.

However, earlier reports from Saudi-based Al-Hadath claimed that several senior Hamas figures� including Khalil al-Hayya, Khaled Mashaal, Zaher Jabarin, and Nizar Awadallah� were killed in the attack.

Meanwhile, two Hamas sources told Reuters that members of Hamas�s ceasefire negotiation team had survived the attack. Israeli officials confirmed that the strike targeted top Hamas leaders, including Khalil al-Hayya, the group�s exiled Gaza chief and a key figure in ongoing negotiations.

A Hamas official in Gaza told AFP that the targeted leaders were in Doha to discuss the latest ceasefire proposal. �In a new Zionist crime, the Hamas negotiating delegation was targeted during its meeting in Doha, while discussing (US) President (Donald) Trump�s proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip,� the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, as he was not authorized to comment publicly.
