Palestinian Resistance factions have vehemently condemned the latest Israeli assassination operation carried out in Qatar, denouncing the targeting of Palestinian figures as a "cowardly" act that underscores what they described as "the political and military failure of this fascist, criminal enemy."
In a joint statement issued on Wednesday, the factions asserted that this assassination attempt reflects “the ongoing failure of the occupation in the face of the steadfast determination and unyielding will of the Palestinian people’s heroes.”
The factions mourned the martyrdom of Jihad Lubad, office director for senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya, as well as al-Hayya’s son, Hammam, Abdullah Abdel Wahed, Moamen Hassouna, and Ahmad al-Mamlouk.
The groups emphasized that the targeted assassination of key figures within the Hamas leadership and members of the Palestinian negotiating delegation demonstrates “the occupation’s deliberate attempt to prolong the war and obstruct any prospects for a political resolution.”
“This attempted assassination exposes the malicious and criminal nature of the Zionist entity, directly supported by the criminal Trump and his fascist administration,” the statement stressed.
Furthermore, the Resistance factions also called on Arab and Islamic nations, as well as free people of the world, to “remain vigilant and rise up against an entity that has become a global threat.”
They stressed that "Israel" continues to act with impunity and disregard for international law, warning that its actions not only destabilize the region, but also endanger global peace and security.
'A treacherous assassination attempt'
Similarly, Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas strongly condemned, on Tuesday, the “treacherous assassination attempt” by the Israeli occupation targeting its negotiating delegation in the Qatari capital, Doha.
In an official statement, Hamas said, “The treacherous attempt by the Zionist occupation to assassinate the Hamas negotiating delegation in Doha today is a heinous crime, a blatant act of aggression, and a flagrant violation of all international norms and laws.”
Hamas stressed that the attack was not only aimed at its delegation but also constituted an assault on Qatar itself. “This crime represented an aggression against the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, which, alongside sisterly Egypt, has played an important and responsible role in sponsoring mediation efforts to halt the aggression, reach a ceasefire agreement, and secure a prisoner exchange,” the movement said.
Hamas confirmed that its leadership, who were the target of the strike, survived the attack, though several members of its team and security staff were martyred. The statement identified those martyred as: Jihad Lubad, office director for senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya, and al-Hayya’s son, Hammam. Three others, including Abdullah Abdel Wahed, Mo'men Hassouna, and Ahmad al-Mamlouk, were also martyred, along with Qatari security officer Badr Saad al-Humaidi.
Israeli entity, US undermining negotiations
The movement tied the attack directly to ongoing negotiations, “Targeting the negotiating delegation, at the very moment it was discussing the latest proposal of US President Donald Trump, confirms beyond any doubt that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement. They are deliberately working to sabotage every opportunity and derail international efforts, regardless of the fate of their prisoners, state sovereignty, or regional security.”
Hamas also accused Washington of complicity: “We hold the US administration jointly responsible with the occupation for this crime, given its constant support for aggression and the crimes of the occupation against our people.”
A coordinated attack
Israeli media revealed new details on the coordination between the Israeli occupation and the United States surrounding the strikes that were intended to target the Hamas leadership.
Channel 13 cited a senior Israeli official as saying that the attack was coordinated with Washington. The report highlighted the extent of joint planning between the two allies in the lead-up to the operation.
According to Channel 14’s correspondent, coordination included at least two key meetings in recent days. The first involved US Central Command chief Gen. Brad Cooper, who recently arrived in the occupied Palestinian territories and held his first meeting with Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.
The two are said to have maintained daily communications, sometimes more than once per day, focusing heavily on military coordination tied to the operation.
A second meeting reportedly took place within the last 24 hours between Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and US envoy Steve Witkoff, further underlining the high-level engagement between the two sides.
