Overview

• Israel confirmed it carried out an independent operation targeting Hamas officials in Doha, where Hamas says senior negotiators survived as five members and a Qatari security officer were killed.
• Qatar held funerals for the dead as Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said Netanyahu “killed any hope” for freeing remaining hostages and moved to press the issue at the U.N.
• U.S. officials said Washington was notified only as the strike began and did not coordinate the attack, while President Trump called it unfortunate and told Doha it would not be repeated on Qatari soil.
• Netanyahu defended the strike, warned nations hosting Hamas to expel its leaders or face Israeli action, and officials cast the operation as part of a leadership-hunting campaign dubbed “Fire Summit.”
• Regional fallout widened with Gulf states voicing solidarity with Qatar, the UAE blocking Israeli firms from November’s Dubai Air Show, and the U.N. Security Council noting deep concern as an Arab‑Islamic summit is planned in Doha next week.
