• An Arab‑Islamic summit in Doha condemned the strike, with Qatar’s emir saying it was intended to derail truce talks, and a draft declaration calls for reassessing ties with Israel.
• President Donald Trump told reporters Israel must “be careful,” praised Qatar as a close ally, and said Israel would not strike in Qatar, even as Washington maintains support for Israel.
• Gaza experienced heavy overnight bombardment with rising casualties reported by civil defense officials as Israel intensifies operations in Gaza City.
