Israel threatens Hamas ‘wherever they are’ as Qatar hosts summit

The September 9 strike on Palestinian militant leaders in Doha marked a major escalation in Israeli military action since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attacks that sparked the Gaza war.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he did not rule out further strikes on Hamas leaders “wherever they are”, as the heads of Arab and Islamic states held a summit to back Qatar after Israel’s attack last week in the Gulf state.
