Israel informed the US of its intention to strike Hamas leaders in Qatar when the jets were already in the air, Channel 12 reports.
Quoting several US officials, the report says that the US, which has a large military base in Qatar, identified Israeli jets heading toward the east and demanded an explanation from Israel.
Israel informed the US that it was carrying out an attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar.
The information was sent to US President Donald Trump, who gave an order to inform Qatar.
However, the report says that the information was sent when the missiles were already in the air.
The report notes that Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer met with US Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner in Miami yesterday and did not mention the plan.
