Overview

• Israel said it conducted an independent airstrike in Doha targeting senior Hamas figures, taking full responsibility for the operation.
• Hamas reported six fatalities, including the son and chief of staff of negotiator Khalil al-Hayya and a Qatari security officer, while asserting its lead negotiators survived.
• The White House said the United States alerted Qatar through envoy Steve Witkoff before the strike, a claim Qatari authorities denied, as President Donald Trump said he was very unhappy.
• Israel linked the strike to a deadly East Jerusalem shooting claimed by Hamas and vowed to pursue the group’s leaders wherever they are, saying they have nowhere to hide.
• Qatar and the UN condemned the attack as a sovereignty violation, diplomats warned it could derail mediation and heighten regional risks, and the UN Security Council was set to meet in emergency session.
