US had advance knowledge of Israeli strike against Hamas leaders in Qatar: Report

Israel targeted Hamas leaders responsible for the October 7 massacre in a precise strike, risking the collapse of US-led ceasefire negotiations, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, Israel carried out an attack targeting Hamas leadership in Qatar, and an Israeli source said the United States was informed ahead of the strike.
  • The Israel Defense Forces said the Hamas leaders targeted in the `Summit of Fire` had led operations and were responsible for the October 7th massacre, with the operation planned two or three months ago.
  • Shortly after the blast, the U.S. embassy in Qatar ordered a shelter-in-place as black smoke rose over Doha amid unclear casualty reports.
  • Killing a Hamas negotiator could derail the U.S.'s latest ceasefire effort, as United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Majed Al Ansari, and Rep. Pete Aguilar condemned the attack and its delayed notification.
  • While Israel called it `a wholly independent Israeli operation`, reports differ on U.S. notice—an Israeli source said it was given ahead, but Axios reported it was during missile launch.
