The unprecedented operation was carried out in Doha, Qatar.
A series of strikes
Israel carried out a series of surprise air strikes in Doha, the capital of Qatar, claiming to be targeting senior Hamas officials. According to several sources, this decision infuriated the American president.
Advance notice?
Donald Trump has publicly stated that he is "very unhappy" with this operation, which he was briefly informed about before it took place, according to his claim. Other sources have contradicted this assertion, however.
An allied territory
He said he was shocked by such an attack on territory he considers an ally.
Doha
The unprecedented operation, carried out in Doha, Qatar, a key mediator in Gaza ceasefire talks, took place as negotiators considered a recent truce proposal backed by Donald Trump, according to CNN.
Six people killed
Six people were killed, including a Qatari security guard, but the Hamas leadership claimed to have survived the attack.
Khalil Al-Hayya
Although Israel thought it had hit its targets, Hamas claimed that the strike had failed to eliminate its members in charge of the ceasefire talks. Among them was one of the main targets of the forward: Hamas chief negotiator Khalil Al-Hayya.
"not thrilled about the whole situation"
Donald Trump again reacted to the surprise attack in Qatar, saying he was "not thrilled about the whole situation" and had felt "very unhappy about all aspects". This statement came as Qatar described the Israeli offensive as a "violation" of international law.
A gift
Donald Trump has already been in the news for his close relationship with Qatar, notably when he agreed to receive a Boeing 747-8 initially valued at around $400 million, offered as a gift, a transaction deemed highly controversial.
Air Force One
He planned to use the plane as Air Force One until the end of his mandate, then assuring he would be transferring it to his presidential library.
