Sechster Nahostkrieg

[Nightwatch]

Tja, da hätte man doch besser mal den Donald mit seinen Ultimaten ernstgenommen. Aber gut, es waren ja auch nicht "two weeks" angesetzt.

Riecht nach einem Endspiel. Die Hamas hat sich hier gehörig verkalkuliert, entweder reißen sie jetzt das Ruder herum oder es erwischt sie nach der Einnahme von Gaza-Stadt eines schönen Tages halt in der Türkei-

More than 10 Israeli Air Force fighter jets dropped over 10 munitions in the strike on Hamas’s leadership in Qatar, according to military officials.

The munitions all hit a building where Hamas leaders were believed to have been gathered within seconds.

En route to carrying out the strike and on the way back to Israel, several aerial refuelings were carried out.

Nächste Woche sind dann wieder die Knalltüten im Yemen dran.

was dahinter stehen könnte:

In Operation Summit of Fire, Israel advanced its strategy of decapitating the leadership of the Iran-led axis of resistance. The airstrike on Hamas headquarters in Doha, Qatar, was likely designed to achieve two main goals.
The first was to remove Khalil al-Hayya, and possibly Zaher Jabarin, from Hamas’ negotiating team. Both have consistently represented a hardline, uncompromising stance in the group’s demands during talks.

According to recent reports, tensions had emerged between al-Hayya — who belongs to the Gaza leadership and was among the planners of the October 7 massacre — and Gaza City brigade commander Izz al-Din al-Haddad, one of the highest-ranking figures inside the enclave. Al-Haddad was reportedly prepared to compromise on several issues and leaned toward accepting the latest U.S. proposal, while al-Hayya and Jabarin opposed it and presented rigid demands.

This raises the possibility that Israel may now negotiate directly with al-Haddad

The second goal of the unprecedented strike was to send a clear message from Israel’s political and security leadership: that it will not relent in its demands for the release of hostages, nor in its determination to dismantle Hamas’ military and civilian rule in Gaza. The aim was to prove that Israel will hunt Hamas officials anywhere in the world, even at the risk of tensions with allies such as the United States, or with Qatar, which maintains close ties with Washington, in order to achieve its objectives.

The Qataris have a history of permitting strikes on their territory — most recently at the end of Operation Rising Lion, when U.S. aircraft bombed Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility. Qatar agreed to allow Iran to retaliate by striking the largest U.S. air base in the Middle East on its soil, warning Washington in advance. The base was evacuated of planes and personnel before the strike, preventing casualties and limiting damage. A similar scenario may have unfolded this time.
