Overview
- Israel said it carried out a precise airstrike in Doha against senior Hamas figures, an operation it named Cumbre de Fuego, and pledged full responsibility.
- Targets reportedly included negotiator Khalil al‑Hayya, but Hamas says its lead envoys survived; reports cite five to six fatalities, including al‑Hayya’s son and a Qatari security officer.
- Qatar condemned a violation of its sovereignty, reserved the right to respond, and suspended its role mediating cease‑fire and hostage‑release talks.
- The United Nations, the Arab League, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Egypt, and the Pope issued condemnations, warning of regional instability.
- The White House said it was notified shortly before the strike and expressed regret, while Israeli media reported President Trump approved the operation; Israel says it accepted a US proposal for a 60‑day truce, which now faces serious uncertainty.
