Netanyahu does not rule out further strikes on Hamas leaders

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not ruled out further strikes on Hamas leaders following last week's attack in Qatar, saying they would not have immunity "wherever they are".

Speaking at a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said every country had the right "to defend itself beyond its borders".

Israel's decision to target senior Hamas leaders in Qatar - a close US ally - drew international outrage and criticism from US President Donald Trump. Hamas said six people were killed but that its leaders survived.

When pressed on whether the US had any involvement in the strike, Netanyahu told journalists: "We did it on our own. Period."
