It's not sure the Hamas' leaders were killed in the strike.

 

Israeli Strike Targets Hamas Leadership in Qatar, a Gaza War Mediator

An airstrike by Israel targeted senior members of Hamas’s leadership on Tuesday in Qatar, a sharp escalation that brought the Mideast war to a country that is a close U.S. ally and a primary mediator in trying to end the conflict in Gaza.

Hamas said that Israel had failed to kill senior officials in the group, without specifying whether they had sustained injuries.  In a statement, the group confirmed that the son of Khalil al-Hayya, Hamas’s chief negotiator; his office manager; and three other people affiliated with Hamas had been killed in the attack.

Qatar shields Hamas in Doha they are in Bed with Putin as well, you don't mess around with Netanyahu his secret agents will track you down wherever your hiding. As for the Hostages I'm afraid none will return to Israel. As for Qatar they just played a friendly football game against Russia, says it all about the freinds Qatar has.

Why would you care, so long as Israel is slaughtering people?

The largest US Military base in the ME is located in Qatar: AL Udeid Air Base. There are over 10,000 US Military personnel and over 100 US aircraft stationed there. With this comes modern air defense systems.  I doubt the AD systems did not detect unidentified (Israeli) aircraft close to Qatari airspace. This had to be airborne attacks because of the precise nature of the targets.  Makes me wonder why were AD systmes were not launched or alert aircraft  scrambled? Or were they?  Or did Israel give advance notice to the Qatari's and the US? Hmm.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Leo, who typically refrains from speaking off the cuff, expressed unusually forceful concern on Tuesday about the consequences of Israel's strike in Qatar.

 

"There's some really serious news right now: Israel's attack on some Hamas leaders in Qatar," the pontiff told journalists outside his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo.

 

"The entire situation is very serious," Leo said. "We do not know how things will go. It is really serious."

Bombs were dropped from Israeli planes so they did fly into Qatar's Airspace, as a member posted these Aircraft must have picked up on Radar yet no Qatari plane's were sent up to intercept them.

Because I don’t think anything Israel is doing will bring peace to Israel.

Chopping the heads of hydra results in more hydra heads.

In this particular case carrying out assassination by bombing in another sovereign nation gives cause for more hatred against Israel.

 

Perhaps Netanyahu backing Hamas was not a good idea after all.

The Israeli side of the story from The Jerusalem Post  via msn..  The message to Hamas, loud and clear, is that "Never again is now."

 

Thirty years of Hamas privilege ends in Doha

Israel shifted the playing field against Hamas on Tuesday. The terrorist organization’s leadership has been residing in Qatar for over a decade. It has enjoyed a life of luxury and privilege while there.

...

On September 9, a day to be remembered for bringing justice to the October 7 victims, some of those Hamas leaders appear to have run out of decades of privilege.

And an analysis piece directly from The Jerusalem Post:

 

The Doha message: Israel’s Qatar strike shows it speaks the language of the Middle East - analysis

Tuesday's strike in Doha may mark a fundamental shift: Israel speaking the language the Middle East actually understands.

...

The assassination attempt against Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital, including acting leader Khalil al-Hayya, former head Khaled Mashaal, and finance chief Zaher Jabarin, was a declaration that the rules of engagement have changed.

n 2011, then United States President Barack Obama personally requested that the Emir of Qatar take the leadership of Hamas into his country.

 

At the time, Washington was seeking to establish a communications channel to the Iranian-backed terrorist group. The Americans believed that a Hamas office in Doha would be easier to access than a Hamas bureau in Tehran. Since then, Hamas chief Haniyeh has been living on the Arabian Peninsula, and with him are several veterans of the terrorist organization, including prominent Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal.

$30 Million a Month for Hamas, with Israeli Approval

It thus surprised the Qataris somewhat when Germany's mass-circulation tabloid Bild newspaper splashed headlines that Chancellor Olaf Scholz would be welcoming the "blood sheikh" and "top sponsor of terror" on the occasion of Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani's mid-October arrival in Berlin for a long-planned state visit. They were disappointed when German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock essentially accused the distinguished visitor from Doha of being politically unreliable by saying that she wanted to make it "very clear" that the Qataris "have a responsibility to clearly stand up to the most brutal terror. We will not accept support for terrorism."

 

The official in Qatar shrugs his shoulders and asks whether such "cluelessness" is the norm inside the German Foreign Ministry.

Qatar does, the official allows, transfer $30 million each month to the Hamas administration in Gaza. But those payments are performed in consultation with Washington and Israel - and with their approval, he says.
