Netanyahu's office says targeting Hamas leaders 'independent Israeli operation'

Israel's targeting of Hamas leaders on Tuesday was a "wholly independent" operation, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, following strikes on buildings housing the Palestinian militant group in Doha.

"Today's action against the top terrorist chieftains of Hamas was a wholly independent Israeli operation," a statement from Netanyahu's office said, adding that: "Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility."
