Mossad 'refused' to carry out ground ops in Qatar, leading to IDF airstrike

Jerusalem, Sept 13 (UNI) Israel's external intelligence wing Mossad had refused to carry out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned ground operation to kill Hamas' leaders in Doha, fearing that the operation would doom hostage-ceasefire talks and damage the agency's ties with Qatar, according to Washington Post.
This was earlier affirmed by the organisation's chief David Barnea following the Tuesday strike, who was critical of the action – not so much for its objective -- but rather its timing and location.
As such, the PM instructed the IDF to carry out the missile strike in Doha to eliminate the Hamas leadership, which has in turn led to widespread condemnation due to breach of Qatar's territorial sovereignty and security.
