Katz: We'll hit our enemies anywhere

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz appears to reject criticism of the decision to go after Hamas figures in US-allied Qatar, saying Israel will not allow the group to find safe haven anywhere, Report informs referring to The Times of Israel.

"Israel's security doctrine is clear - its long arm will act against its enemies everywhere," he says in a statement. "There's nowhere they can hide."

He does not address indications that some of the Hamas leaders targeted in Doha were not killed in the strike, but says anyone who took part in the October 7, 2023, massacre will "have justice served."

Katz also repeats his demand that Hamas agree to Israel's conditions to end the war, including freeing the hostages and disarming.

Otherwise, "they will be wiped out and Gaza destroyed," he threatens.
