Tehran, IRNA -- The Israeli regime has launched an assassination attack against Hamas leaders in Doha.
Several explosions were heard in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on Tuesday.
The Israeli military said it carried out an assassination attempt on top Hamas leaders in Doha.
The attack happened as a Hamas negotiating team, headed by senior leader Khalil al-Hayya, was discussing a Gaza ceasefire proposal put forward by the United States.
Additionally, Reuters, citing an eyewitness, reported seeing thick smoke rising from the Katara area in Doha.
In a statement, Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Israel's cowardly attack targeting residential offices of several members of Hamas's political bureau in Doha.
It added, "The criminal assault is a violation of all international laws and a serious threat to the safety and security of Qataris and residents."
"The State of Qatar strongly condemns this attack and affirms that it will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behavior," the ministry noted. "The State of Qatar confirms that it will not tolerate any action targeting its security or sovereignty."
"Investigations are ongoing at the highest level, and further details will be announced as soon as they become available," the ministry said.
