The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it targeted “senior officials” of Hamas shortly after explosions shook the Qatari capital Doha, in what would mark the first known Israeli air strike on Qatari soil.

In a statement released on September 9, 2025, the IDF and Israel’s domestic intelligence agency Shin Bet said the operation was carried out “using the Air Force” with precision munitions. While the military did not disclose which aircraft were involved, the statement was accompanied by an image of a McDonnell Douglas F-15D Baz fighter.

The military described the strike as a response against Hamas leaders “directly responsible for carrying out the October 7 massacre and waging the war against the State of Israel.” It stressed that measures were taken to limit civilian casualties, citing the use of precision weapons and intelligence-based targeting.

Only F-35s can do this.

Any other craft would be shot out of the sky.

Well, it was “fun” for those bastards while it lasted, and highly lucrative from the world’s donations. But they were FILTHY rich (emphasis on filthy) one minute, and dirt poor the next.

To all who would harm Israel: let that be a lesson to you.

Boom!

Think I heard a dozen precision bombs were dropped.

Entire first floor on the mansion, totally gutted. Not likely survivors.

No. The video I saw were not F-35’s.

Might have been because of the weight of the bombs.

The IDF does it again! Apparently without resistance from Qatar, which makes it likely they knew it was coming.

This was another day for Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial a powerful way to change the subject away from that trial not to mention some birthday book from some guy named Epstein.

Sounds like they are serious about eliminating HAMAS in Gaza entirely and starting over.
