Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that today’s strike targeting Hamas leadership in Doha was ordered in direct retaliation for the recent shooting in Jerusalem and rocket attacks from Gaza. Describing the operation as “entirely justified,” Netanyahu said the decision was finalized at noon after military intelligence identified what he called a “unique operational opportunity.”
The strike marks a dramatic escalation, extending Israel’s military campaign beyond Gaza and into the Gulf, signaling a willingness to hit Hamas leaders wherever they are based. While supporters in Israel frame the action as a necessary deterrent, critics warn that expanding the conflict could destabilize already fragile regional dynamics, straining ties with Qatar and risking a wider confrontation.
The attack comes amid rising tensions across the Middle East, where ongoing clashes and retaliatory strikes have already raised concerns of a prolonged cycle of violence.
