On the 9th of this month, Israel announced a "precision strike" against the Hamas leadership in Doha. Hamas said that at the time of the airstrike, the Hamas negotiating delegation was discussing the latest ceasefire plan proposed by the United States. Five Palestinians and one member of the Qatari security forces were killed in the attack, and Israel's attempt to assassinate top Hamas officials "failed".
