Overview

• Israel publicly took responsibility for a targeted strike in Doha on Hamas figures gathered to discuss a U.S. cease-fire proposal, calling it an independent operation.
• Qatar confirmed a member of its Internal Security Force, Cpl. Bader Saad Mohammed Al Humaidi Al Dosari, was killed, and officials across outlets reported at least six deaths in total.
• Hamas said senior leaders survived while lower-ranking members were killed, including the son and office director of negotiator Khalil al-Hayya.
• The White House said it was notified before the strike and relayed a warning to Doha, a timeline Qatari officials dispute, as the U.S. Embassy issued a temporary shelter-in-place order.
• Israel framed the action as retaliation for deadly attacks in Jerusalem and against its forces in Gaza, while Qatar suspended its mediation and international partners warned the strike jeopardizes hostage talks.
