According to emerging accounts, the strike targeted a Hamas headquarters where several top leaders were believed to be meeting. Among those reportedly present were Zaher Jabarin, Hamas’s West Bank chief, and Muhammad Darwish, head of the Shura Council, alongside Mashaal. Their status remains unclear, as neither Hamas nor Qatari authorities have issued statements confirming casualties or survival.

If verified, the deaths would represent one of the most significant blows to Hamas leadership in years, escalating tensions in the region. For now, uncertainty shrouds the fate of the leaders, while international observers await official confirmation from Hamas or Qatari officials.
