"There is no place where they can hide, Katz wrote on X, adding: Everyone who took part in the October 7 massacre will be held fully accountable. Anyone who carries out terror against Israel will be harmed. The Israeli ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, told Fox News that if the strike had not killed Hamas leaders, it would succeed next time."
"Qatar, a close US ally, has been hosting negotiations aimed at securing a ceasefire in the Gaza war, and plays a key role as an intermediary. The Hamas leaders were reported to have been meeting to discuss a new ceasefire proposal put forward by the US president, Donald Trump. Washington described Wednesday's strike as a unilateral attack that did not advance American and Israeli interests."
"Hamas said in a statement that all of its leaders were safe, but five lower-ranked members were reportedly killed. A senior Israeli official admitted on Wednesday that optimism about the results of the strikes was waning. Qatar said one of its security forces was killed in the attack and accused Israel of state terrorism. Israel deployed its air power again on Wednesday, with a strike in Yemen."
Israel launched strikes on a meeting of Hamas leaders in Qatar and responded with defiant threats promising accountability for those involved in the October 7 attacks. Doubt persisted over whether senior Hamas figures were killed, while five lower-ranked members reportedly died and Qatar said one of its security personnel was killed. The strike drew international condemnation, with the US calling it a unilateral action that did not serve American or Israeli interests and President Trump denying involvement. Qatar hosts ceasefire negotiations and was said to be facilitating talks on a US-proposed ceasefire. Israel also conducted a separate strike in Yemen, escalating regional tensions.
