White House Says Trump Notified Qatar Ahead of Israeli Strike on Hamas

Israel conducted an airstrike in Doha targeting senior Hamas leadership, which involved 15 fighter jets and resulted in five Hamas members being killed, as reported by Hamas and confirmed by Trey Yingst.
U.S. President Donald Trump directed Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to inform Qatar about the Israel attack. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the incident as unfortunate, emphasizing that it does not advance U.S. or Israeli goals.
President Trump expressed that he feels badly about the attack's location in Qatar and reassured Qatari leaders that such an incident will not happen again on their soil, according to Leavitt's briefing.
Hamas condemned the strikes, revealing that five of its members were killed, complicating efforts for peace negotiations.
