Hamas says six dead in Israeli strike including Qatari security officer • FRANCE 24 English

Over the skies of Doha, smoke was visible from motorways crossing the Qatari capital. Fires broke out after explosions struck the city around midday. Israel quickly claimed responsibility. Uh at noon today, I convened the heads of Israel security organizations and authorized a surgical precision strike on the terrorist chiefs of Hamas. These are the same terrorists who planned terrorist chiefs who planned, launched, and celebrated the horrific massacres of October 7th. Hamas officials said the buildings normally housed the group’s negotiators in Doha, though it was unclear if they were occupied at the time. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the strikes in response to Monday’s attack in East Jerusalem, which killed six people and was claimed by Hamas. His office stressed that Israel acted alone. But Israeli officials told reporters that former US President Donald Trump had given his approval for these strikes. Qatar, a close US ally, reacted sharply in a statement read on national television. This criminal attack constitutes a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms and a grave threat to the safety and security of Qataris and residents of the state of Qatar. Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the UN Secretary General also condemned these strikes. The US embassy in Doha advised its citizens to shelter in place.

Hamas said six people were killed in an Israeli strike on the group’s compound in Doha on Tuesday, including its top negotiator’s son and a Qatari security officer. Three bodyguards and Gaza ceasefire negotiator Khalil al-Hayya’s aide and son were all killed in the attack, the group said, affirming “the enemy’s failure to assassinate our brothers in the negotiating delegation”.

  7. When real military challenges arise, Arab leaders discover that wealth offers no protection. Their people are left crying in the streets, seeking international intervention, only to realize too late that money cannot replace strength, unity, or courage.
