Israel Doha Strike marks bold new escalation
Doha – September 11, 2025:
In a stunning escalation dubbed the Israel Doha Strike, Israeli jets hit a residential compound in Qatar’s capital targeting Hamas’s exiled political leadership during talks over a US-backed Gaza ceasefire. While key leaders survived, several aides, bodyguards and a Qatari officer were killed.
This marks Israel’s first direct strike inside a Gulf monarchy — a powerful signal that its campaign now extends beyond Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Analysts warn the attack undermines ceasefire diplomacy and raises serious questions about regional security and state sovereignty.
Qatar, host to America’s largest Middle East base and a key mediator in ceasefire negotiations, now finds itself at the center of a widening conflict. The strike highlights Israel’s willingness to act far beyond traditional battlefields, risking entangling Washington and further straining ties with Arab capitals.
Observers urge the Arab League and OIC to move beyond resolutions toward concrete measures such as economic pressure or diplomatic isolation to deter future cross-border attacks. Without collective action, experts say, no country is immune to the spillover of the Gaza war. dawn
