Overview

• Israel confirmed striking targets tied to Hamas leadership in Doha, with six reported dead including a Qatari security officer and the son and aide of senior figure Khalil al-Hayya.
• Hamas said its top negotiators survived; multiple reports indicate they had been reviewing a U.S.-backed ceasefire and prisoner-exchange proposal at the time.
• Qatar’s prime minister said Israel “killed any hope” for further hostage releases, announced a legal team, advanced UN engagement, and signaled an Arab‑Islamic summit for a collective response.
• The White House says it was notified in advance of the operation, while Qatari officials say the first U.S. call came roughly 10 minutes after the blasts.
• Israeli leaders defended the strike and warned countries hosting Hamas, as GCC states and other governments condemned a breach of Qatari sovereignty and questioned U.S. security assurances.
