US had advance knowledge of Israeli strike against Hamas leaders in Qatar: Report
Israel targeted senior Hamas leaders responsible for the October 7 massacre in a precise strike that risks undermining ongoing ceasefire negotiations brokered by Qatar.
- On Tuesday, Israel carried out an airstrike in Doha targeting Hamas leadership, striking a residential compound as black smoke rose over Doha on September 09, 2025.
- Two Israeli sources say the operation, planned about two or three months ago, was accelerated in recent weeks, with targets linked to the October 7th massacre, the IDF said.
- An Israeli source to CNN and a senior White House official said the United States was informed ahead of the strike, but Qatar disputed advance notice, saying the U.S. call came 10 minutes after explosions; Axios reported differing timelines on Washington's briefing.
- The strike immediately threatened ongoing ceasefire and hostage talks, as the killing of a Hamas chief negotiator could derail the US-led effort while the United States embassy in Doha ordered shelter-in-place and Qatar condemned the attack, warning it reserves the right to respond after six fatalities.
- The White House distanced itself, noting President Donald Trump said 'I’m not thrilled about it' after speaking with Netanyahu and the Qatari Emir on Tuesday.
