On 09 September at approximately 1600 local time, Israeli warplanes struck at least one target in Doha, Qatar, with explosions reported in the Katara neighborhood. According to Israeli officials, the targets were Hamas’ headquarters in Doha and its senior leaders who were reportedly convening to discuss a Gaza ceasefire deal. At this time, there are conflicting reports surrounding the identities of the intended targets and their current status. Israel says the strike on Hamas leadership in Doha was coordinated in advance with the US. The assassination attempt in the Qatari capital comes amid a renewed U.S. effort to reach a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Global Guardian assesses that the incident is "closed" with a low likelihood of Israeli follow-on strikes in Qatar or Iranian direct retaliation on Israel in the immediate term.
