Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A White House official told CBS News that Israel notified the U.S. just before the strikes against Hamas leaders in Doha were carried out on Tuesday. Two other U.S. officials told CBS News the U.S. did not coordinate with Israel on planning the strikes.<\/p>\n<p>Later Tuesday, Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz published a joint statement saying, &#8220;this afternoon, in light of an operational opportunity, and in consultation with all heads of the defense establishment and with full backing, the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister decided to implement the instruction given last night to the IDF and the Shin Bet, which did so in a precise and optimal manner.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Prime Minister and the Defense Minister believed that the action was completely justified in light of the fact that this Hamas leadership was the one who initiated and organized the October 7 massacre, and has not stopped launching murderous actions against the State of Israel and its citizens since then,&#8221; the joint statement said.<\/p>\n<p>Countries including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey released statements condemning the strikes in Doha.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas, long designated a terrorist organization by Israel, the U.S. and the European Union, has maintained a primary political office in Doha for years, through which it has conducted most of its diplomacy since the war in Gaza was sparked by the group&#8217;s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Qatar is a close ally of the United States and also hosts the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, Al-Udeid Air Base.

Investigations are being conducted at the highest level, and further details will be announced as soon as they become available.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/USEmbassyDoha\/status\/1965410250707935632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">post on social media<\/a>, the U.S. Embassy in Doha said it was aware of &#8220;reports of missile strikes occurring in Doha,&#8221; and it announced a shelter-in-place order for embassy facilities that was later lifted.<\/p>\n<p>The group that represents the families of the hostages taken during the Oct. 7 Hamas attack said in a statement Tuesday that the families were &#8220;following the developments in Doha with deep concern and heavy anxiety. A grave fear now hangs over the price that the hostages may pay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The group demanded a plan from the Israeli government to return all 48 hostages to Israel.
