Qatar readied evacuation plans for Hamas leaders ahead of potential Israeli attack
A senior Qatari security official said Qatar had prearranged procedures to extract Hamas leaders if an Israeli strike threatened them.
According to a Qatari security chief, the Gulf state had already set up evacuation protocols to move Hamas officials out of danger zones in the event of an Israeli assault. The plan underscores Qatar's close operational links with the militant group. Senior Hamas figure Bassam Naim confirmed that local security forces had conducted drills to practice the evacuation. The disclosure came as Israel prepared a strike in 2025 that could have targeted Hamas leadership.
