The information network funded by Qatari, Al Jazeera, linked the explosion to the Israeli announcement. The explosion resonated in Doha, sending black smoke into the air. He was not immediately clear if someone had been injured during the attack.
The exiled leadership of Hamas has long been based in Qatar, which has been a mediator in talks between Hamas and Israel for several years, even before the last conflict in the Gaza Strip.
A strike on his first leadership could further complicate negotiations on a cease-fire in Gaza and the release of hostages taken during the attack on October 7, 2023 in Hamas.
Qatar is a nation rich in energy on the Arabian peninsula. Al Jazeera, a broadcaster funded by the State, recognized the explosion, without developing. Qatar officials did not immediately answer phone calls to comment.
