The strike against Hamas leaders in Doha was an entirely Israeli operation, says the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office in an English-language statement, APA reports citing Israeli media.
“Today’s action against the top terrorist chieftains of Hamas was a wholly independent Israeli operation,” writes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.
“Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility.”
Israeli media reports say that US President Donald Trump was aware of the planned strike and gave his blessing.
Two days ago, Trump issued a “last warning” to Hamas.
“I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. “This is my last warning, there will not be another one!”
