Hamas has said that its chief negotiator in Gaza truce talks, Khalil al-Hayya, survived an Israeli strike on a Hamas compound in Doha earlier this week, AFP reports.

“Under special security arrangements, Dr Khalil al-Hayya … took part in the funeral prayers in Qatar for his martyred son Hammam and the other martyrs of the cowardly assassination attempt in Doha,” Hamas said in a terse statement.
