bibi is a unilateral terrorist.....Israel has conducted a “precise strike”against the “senior leadership of Hamas,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday, shortly after multiple blasts rocked the headquarters of the Palestinian militant group in Doha, Qatar. The Israeli military said it carried out the operation in coordination with the Shin Bet security agency (ISA). The IDF did not name the exact location targeted in the strike. “The IDF and ISA conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization,” the IDF said in a statement. “Prior to the strike, measures were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and additional intelligence.” The announcement came after at least ten blasts reportedly rocked the Hamas headquarters in Doha. Footage circulating online shows the building was badly damaged. According to multiple media reports citing Hamas sources, the strike targeted the group’s negotiating team, which has been discussing the latest US proposal on the cessation of the hostilities with Israel. Qatar has condemned the “cowardly Israeli attack,” describing the location affected by the strike as “residential buildings housing several members of the political bureau of the Hamas movement.” It is not immediately clear whether the attack reached its intended target, conflicting media reports citing sources within the group indicate. While some suggest that several high-profile Hamas figures were killed in the attack, others claim that the group’s leadership escaped the strike unharmed.

Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility,” it said in a statement. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the Israeli attack as a “flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar.” “All parties must work towards achieving a permanent ceasefire, not destroying it,” he told reporters. https://www.rt.com/news/624352-israel-qatar-hamas-attack/

next time....
Israel is determined to kill Hamas leaders wherever they reside and will continue its efforts until they are all dead, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter told Fox News on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, Israeli airstrikes hit a residential building in Doha, Qatar, targeting senior figures of Hamas’ political wing. The group said its officials survived, while the attack has been criticized by the White House and condemned by Qatar.
“If we didn’t get them this time, we’ll get them the next time,” Leiter said.
The ambassador described Hamas as “enemies of Western civilization” and argued that Israel’s actions were reshaping the Middle East in ways “moderate” states understood and valued. “Right now, we may be subject to a little bit of criticism. They’ll get over it,” he said of the Arab countries.
US President Donald Trump said that while dismantling Hamas was a legitimate goal, striking a US ally undermined both American and Israeli interests.
Leiter noted that Israel had “never had a better friend in the White House” and that Washington and West Jerusalem remained united in seeking the militant group’s destruction.
Qatar, which hosts Hamas officials as part of its role as a mediator, said a Qatari security officer was among six people killed in the Israeli strike.
Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani has denounced the attack as a “heinous crime” and an “act of aggression,” while Doha’s Foreign Ministry has accusedIsrael of “state terrorism.”
Israel has vowed to hunt down Hamas leaders, who it blames for the deadly October 2023 attack which was launched from Gaza into southern Israel. The ambassador vowed that those responsible “are not going to survive,” no matter where they are.
Israel’s military response has left at least 64,000 dead in Gaza, according to local authorities. Critics have accused West Jerusalem of committing genocide by rendering the blockaded enclave uninhabitable and worsening famine conditions through restrictions on food aid.

"friendly" patriots....
The missiles fired by Israel could have been intercepted by Qatar's US Patriot systems. Russian military expert Yuri Knutov weighs in: the Patriots were simply turned off by the US.
Patriots Offline
"The main feature of these systems is their close integration with airborne early warning and control aircraft (AWACS), satellites, and command centers that provide targeting data," Knutov tells Sputnik. "In addition, they have a [remote] shutdown feature to prevent accidental friendly fire."
This shutdown feature is problematic: Turkiye refused to purchase the Patriot specifically because the American side could disable these systems at any moment, and therefore preferred the S-400, according to the pundit.
US Didn’t Defend Qatar
Apart from using Patriots, Qatar hosts the US’ largest military base in the Middle East.
"According to the agreement between Qatar and the US, the Americans were, of course, supposed to defend Qatar’s airspace by opening fire on Israeli aircraft. However, this did not happen," Knutov says.
The US military knew about the incoming Israeli aircraft yet took no action, effectively allowing them to operate freely against the Hamas delegation invited to Qatar for negotiations. The US was fully aware of this.
Arab countries — and not just them — should take note: wherever US Patriots are used, the US can disable them at any moment, leaving their skies completely defenseless.
US Always Sides With Israel
"This is undoubtedly a scandalous situation, given that Qatar is a close US ally and had promised to invest billions in the American economy," Knutov says. "The Americans warned Qatar of the attack only ten minutes after it had taken place."
Appeasing the US is futile — they always side with Israel.
