US EditionWhite House Says Trump Notified Qatar Ahead of Israeli Strike on Hamas
The strikes killed six including Hamas members and a Qatari official, disrupted ceasefire talks, and drew international condemnation amid escalating regional tensions.
- On Tuesday, Israel launched an attack in Doha targeting Hamas leadership, an operation confirmed by an Israeli official to Reuters.
- Israel viewed the operation as part of a long‑standing plan to hit Hamas leaders abroad, with the Shin Bet pushing approval for Tuesday's Operation Summit of Fire amid a war triggered by the October 7 attack that killed around 1,200 and took 251 captive.
- Hamas reported five members killed, including Khalil al‑Hayya's son Himam, office director Jihad Abu Labal, and a Qatari security officer, while senior leaders reportedly survived.
- Qatar condemned the strike as a blatant violation and suspended contact with Israeli negotiators, while the White House said President Donald Trump directed envoy Steve Witkoff to warn Qatar, which denied advance notice.
- The strike has complicated ongoing ceasefire and hostage negotiations, raising questions about peace efforts while the United Nations Security Council is expected to convene as Gulf states rallied around Qatar.
