Israel warns of overseas action against Hamas leaders

Israeli leaders have renewed threats to target Hamas leaders abroad following widespread international condemnation of the attack that struck a meeting of Hamas officials in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday.

Officials in Tel Aviv said that any continued hostile activity by Hamas will prompt decisive responses beyond Israel’s borders. Analysts warn that such threats could escalate tensions in the region and strain diplomatic relations with countries hosting Palestinian officials.
