Qatar Airways has confirmed that its operations remain unaffected by the recent incident in Doha.

In a statement posted on X on Tuesday, the airline affirmed that its services continue to run without interruption.

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

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

Earlier, Israel launched airstrikes in Qatar targeting senior Hamas leaders in what it described as a “precise operation” against the group’s political bureau.

The explosions shook Doha, with verified footage showing smoke rising from a damaged complex near the Woqod petrol station on Wadi Rawdan Street, close to the West Bay Lagoon district.

The Israel Defence Forces said the operation targeted Hamas’s “senior leadership,” involving 15 fighter jets that released 10 precision-guided munitions at one location.

According to Israeli media reports, exiled leaders Khalil al-Hayya, the group’s chief negotiator, and Zaher Jabarin, a senior figure connected to the West Bank, were among those targeted, although their current status is unknown.

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

The group also claimed that a Qatari security official was killed in the attack.
