Netanyahu also stressed that Israel carried out this operation on its own initiative and bears responsibility for it.

The Israeli army said the strike targeted members of the Palestinian movement who are responsible for terrorist attacks in Israel, including the attack on October 7, 2023. Eyewitnesses reported several explosions in Doha.
