Israel has launched an airstrike on the nation of Qatar targeting Hamas leadership meeting in Doha, Qatar to discuss a ceasefire proposal. At the same time, they launched a new assault on Gaza city, warning Gazans to get out while they can. The world has largely responded with a condemnation of Israel’s actions, which included a gentler criticism from the Trump administration.
Hamas has struck back with a terror attack on a bus station in Jerusalem that left six dead and more than a dozen injured. The Houthis are not going away either, renewing their commitment to fight Israel after their leadership was taken out by an airstrike on their palace. It seems Netanyahu is in a race against time to effectively neutralize Hamas, come what may, before the world forces a settlement on Israel that includes a Hamas that can reform.

Israel dramatically escalated its war on Hamas with a stunning airstrike Tuesday on the Iran-backed terrorist group’s political leadership in Qatar, a U.S. ally.
The group’s top figures, who survived the strike that killed five lower-ranked officials and one Qatari security officer, were gathered to consider a U.S. ceasefire proposal for the Gaza Strip.
The attack angered Qatar, which is hosting thousands of U.S. troops. The energy-rich Persian Gulf nation has served as a key mediator between Israel and Hamas throughout the 23-month-old war and even before.
Qatar condemned what it referred to as a “flagrant violation of all international laws and norms” as smoke rose over Doha. Other key U.S. allies, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, promised their support to Qatar.
Israel conducted its strike while military officials were warning civilians in Gaza City to evacuate ahead of an expected ground offensive into the Palestinian enclave.
The Israel Defense Forces characterized the air raid on Doha as a “precise strike” targeting the terrorist group’s senior leadership.

A deadly terrorist shooting in the northern neighborhood of Ramot left six people dead and more than a dozen others injured Monday morning. The attack, which took place near a crowded bus stop, has shaken the city and once again placed Israel’s security challenges at the forefront of world attention.
As reported by Israel365 News, two armed terrorists opened fire on civilians with “locally manufactured ‘Carlo’ submachine guns.” The victims included a man and a woman in their 50s, as well as three men in their 30s. Magen David Adom emergency responders rushed to the scene, treating “seven critically injured individuals” while others sustained moderate and light wounds.
Israeli security forces acted quickly, with “an IDF squad commander and an armed civilian neutralizing the attackers on the spot.” Authorities believe the terrorists arrived from a village near Ramallah, and checkpoints between Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria were immediately closed for security sweeps.

At least six people were killed and more than a dozen were injured after a pair of attackers opened fire on a bus in Jerusalem Monday morning, paramedics said.
The shooting unfolded at a busy intersection in northern Jerusalem, on a road that leads to Jewish settlements located in east Jerusalem. Israeli media reported that the two attackers boarded a bus and opened fire. Paramedics said 14 other people were injured and five are in serious condition.
Police said two attackers were “neutralized” soon after the shooting began but have not released additional information about the attackers’ identities.
Hamas released a statement praising “resistance fighters” who carried out the attack, but the group did not explicitly claim credit for the shooting. Another terrorist organization, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, also praised the shooting but did not claim responsibility for it.

Dr Majed Al Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar’s foreign ministry, has issued a statement on X in response to the Israeli attack in Doha.
Here is the statement from the foreign ministry’s spokesperson in full:
The State of Qatar strongly condemns the cowardly Israeli attack that targeted residential buildings housing several members of the Political Bureau of Hamas in the Qatari capital, Doha.
This criminal assault constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms, and poses a serious threat to the security and safety of Qataris and residents in Qatar.
The Ministry affirms that the security forces, civil defense, and relevant authorities immediately began addressing the incident and taking necessary measures to contain its repercussions and ensure the safety of the residents and surrounding areas.
While the State of Qatar strongly condemns this assault, it confirms that it will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behavior and the ongoing disruption of regional security, nor any act that targets its security and sovereignty.
Investigations are underway at the highest level, and further details will be announced as soon as they are available.
EU leader says she will seek sanctions against Israel over Gaza campaign – National– globalnews.ca

Excerpt:
The European Commission president said Wednesday she would seek sanctions and a partial trade suspension against Israel over the conflict in Gaza, an announcement that marked a sharp turnaround for Ursula von der Leyen, a longtime supporter of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The 27-nation EU is deeply divided in its approach to Israel and the Palestinians, and it’s unclear whether a majority will be found to endorse the sanctions and trade measures.
Von der Leyen added that the commission “will set up a Palestine donor group next month,” part of which will focus on Gaza’s future reconstruction. She said the events in Gaza and the suffering of children and families “has shaken the conscience of the world.”
The Gaza Health Ministry says 126 Palestinians, including 26 children, have died of causes related to malnutrition since international experts announced famine in Gaza City on Aug. 22. They are part of the total number of 404 people, including 141 children, who have died of causes related to malnutrition since the conflict began nearly two years ago.

Japan strongly criticizes Israeli strike on Hamas in Qatar– japantoday.com

The Japanese government on Wednesday strongly criticized Israel for its airstrike targeting leaders of Palestinian militant group Hamas in Qatar, saying its actions endangered stability in the Middle East.
“At a time when serious diplomatic efforts are underway by countries including Qatar to achieve a cease-fire in Gaza and secure the releases of hostages, Israel’s attack hinders those efforts, threatens Qatar’s sovereignty and security, and endangers regional stability,” top government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi said.
“Japan strongly condemns” Israel’s actions, the chief cabinet secretary said at a regular press conference in Tokyo.
Israel targeted top-level Hamas officials in Doha on Tuesday. Qatar has been a key diplomatic player in the Middle East and is mediating peace talks between Hamas and Israel.
The current conflict in the Palestinian region began after the militant group Hamas launched an attack in Israel and took hostages in October 2023, prompting massive Israeli retaliation. Many people in the Gaza Strip are facing starvation as the conflict continues.
