On 9 September 2025, during the Gaza war, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted an airstrike in the Leqtaifiya district of Qatar's capital Doha, targeting the leadership of Hamas, housed in a Qatari government residential complex, as it met to discuss an active ceasefire proposal presented by the United States. The attack killed and injured Hamas members, Qatari security forces, and multiple civilians. The attack was Israel's first known attack in Qatar, and its first direct strike on a Gulf Cooperation Council member.
According to reports, the intended targets included four senior Hamas figures: Khalil al-Hayya, Zaher Jabarin, Muhammad Ismail Darwish and Khaled Mashal. Those targeted were involved in negotiations for a ceasefire to the Gaza war and an Israeli–Palestinian prisoner–hostage exchange. The Israeli security establishment assessed that the strike aimed at assassinating Hamas leaders failed.
The attack was celebrated by politicians inside Israel, whose government said it was in response to the Ramot Junction shooting the day before. The attack was described by Qatar as an act of state terrorism. It was widely condemned internationally, including by the United Nations Security Council with U.S. backing.
