The Israel Air Force, acting on information supplied by military intelligence and the Shabak Security Agency, struck the Qatar-based Hamas leadership earlier this afternoon, targeting most of the high-level members of the terrorist organisation’s chain of command and negotiating team. The strike was coordinated with the Trump Administration and the Central Command. What are the probable repercussions? Who will make decisions for Hamas and will the rank and file obey? What might happen to the Israeli hostages and could the Gaza War end sooner or otherwise later?
