Tensions in the Middle East escalated further on Tuesday as an Israeli military official confirmed to AFP that the country’s forces launched air strikes on Doha, Qatar, in a high-level operation aimed at targeting senior Hamas leaders.
The Israeli official revealed that the mission has been officially named “Summit of Fire.”
“The name of the operation in Doha is Summit of Fire. These were air strikes,” the military source told AFP.
No further details were provided regarding casualties, damage, or whether the strikes successfully targeted Hamas officials.
The announcement is expected to spark global diplomatic reactions, given Qatar’s role as a key regional player often involved in mediating negotiations between Israel, Hamas, and other stakeholders in the ongoing conflict.
Analysts suggest that if confirmed, this development could mark one of the most daring moves by Israel in its long-running campaign against Hamas, possibly widening the scope of the conflict beyond Gaza.
The situation remains tense, with more details expected in the coming hours as international observers await statements from Qatari authorities and other global leaders.
