Israel strikes Doha, targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar’s capital

The Israeli military reportedly carried out a targeted strike in Doha on Tuesday, aiming at senior Hamas leaders as negotiations over a potential Gaza ceasefire continued. The rare move comes amid escalating diplomatic tensions and could have significant repercussions for regional stability, with Qatari authorities and international officials closely monitoring the situation.

•Why it matters: The strike marks a major escalation, extending the conflict’s reach beyond Palestinian territory and risking broader regional fallout as Qatar plays a key role in mediation and humanitarian efforts.
