The Israel Defense Forces emphasized measures taken to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-war-israel-defense-forces-spokesman-calls-out-msnbcs-reporting-while-on-air\/\" title=\"IDF spokesperson criticizes MSNBC&#039;s reporting during ... ....\">minimize civilian harm<\/a>, using precision munitions and intelligence. Qatar strongly condemned the attack, calling it a violation of international law and a threat to security within it&#8217;s territory. Qatar also serves as a key mediator in efforts to broker peace between Israel and Hamas, alongside Egypt and the United States. The strike is part of Israel&#8217;s ongoing campaign against Hamas leadership, which has included targeting officials outside Gaza, such as in Tehran earlier in 2024. Meanwhile, Israel is preparing a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >large-scale invasion<\/a> of Gaza City, ordering its evacuation, amid continued conflict and complex diplomatic efforts. Former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed support for Israel&#8217;s war strategy and mentioned a possible deal to end the war, though its acceptance remains uncertain. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Israel targets Hamas leadership in &lsquo;precise&rsquo; Qatar strike<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2224408\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Israeli<\/a> forces carried out a strike targeting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hamas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hamas<\/a> leaders in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that it conducted &ldquo;a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-is-proportional-the-madness-of-condemning-israels-disproportionate-use-of-self-defense-against-terrorism\/\" title=\"What IS Proportional?
