Qatar Airways says operations unaffected by attack in Doha

Qatar Airways says its operations remain unaffected by the recent incident in Doha.

In a post on X on Tuesday, the airline said there had been no disruptions to its services despite the unfortunate events.

“The recent unfortunate events in Doha have not impacted Qatar Airways operations and there have been no disruptions as a result,” Qatar Airways said.

“The safety and security of our passengers have been and will always be our top priority.”

Earlier, Israel carried out airstrikes in Qatar targeting senior Hamas leaders, describing the action as a “precise operation” against the group’s political bureau.

Explosions were heard in Doha, the Qatari capital, with verified footage showing smoke billowing from a damaged complex near the Woqod petrol station on Wadi Rawdan street, close to the West Bay Lagoon district.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said the strike was aimed at the “senior leadership” of Hamas and involved 15 fighter jets that fired 10 precision munitions on a single target.

Israeli media reported that exiled leaders Khalil al-Hayya, the group’s chief negotiator, and Zaher Jabarin, a senior West Bank figure, were among those targeted, though their status remains unclear.

Hamas confirmed that five of its members were killed in the strike but said its negotiating delegation survived.

The group also claimed that a Qatari security official died during the attack.
