Hamas announced Friday evening that the group's chief negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya, was not killed in Israel's strike on Thursday, which targeted a building housing Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar, and killed six people.
Hamas said in an official statement that al-Hayya "led the funeral prayer for his martyred son and for the victims of the treacherous assassination attempt in Doha."
Five of the casualties of Tuesday's strike were Hamas members, including Khalil al-Hayya's son and his chief of staff, while the sixth was a member of Qatar's security forces.
According to Qatari sources, the strike targeted Hamas headquarters during a discussion on the U.S. proposal to end the war in Gaza.
