At approximately 6:30 a.m. PST, 10 Israeli fighter jets enacted a targeted precision attack on Hamas leaders who were in Doha, Qatar.

The attack, dubbed “Operation Judgment Day,” was coordinated and approved on Monday night as a result of the recent terrorist attacks in Jerusalem and from Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu has said this was a justified attack that was a wholly Israeli operation. “Israel initiated it, Israel coordinated it, and Israel takes full responsibility.”
