The doctrine of the Israeli army is to hit the enemy wherever he is. 24 hours after the audacious attack in Doha, Wednesday afternoon 12 hunting of IF flew for 2,350 kilometers to Yemen and attacked with over 30 military field bombs, a fuel deposit and the headquarters of the Houthi propaganda department, in Sanaa and other cities. The Ministry of Health Yemenita reported a balance of at least 35 deaths and 131 injured.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu replied to international criticisms after the strike in Qatar: in a video in English he accused the world leaders of hypocrisy remembering that it is the eve of September 11, a date reminiscent of the Islamist barbarism that wounded America. «The United States hunting the terrorists responsible wherever they were. In Pakistan, in Afghanistan. Everyone applauded. It’s the same thing we did in Qatar. Our September 11 is October 7, “he said. In the video he then threatened to intervene again in the Gulf country: «I say to all the nations that refuge for terrorists: either you expel them, or delivered them to justice.
Because if you don’t do it, we will do it, “he said. Previously he had had two long telephone interviews with Donald Trump. Wednesday appeared particularly tense in Israel. From now on, an increasing pessimism has been leaked on the success of the raid against Hamas leaders gathered in Doha. Safety sources have released several anonymous statements to the national media, doubting the success of the operation.
A reconstruction came from Iran that would explain how it is saved from missiles: it was the hour of the mezzogiorno prayer, they moved to another room of the house, leaving cell phones in the negotiation hall. Circumstance that would have deceived the Israeli intelligence that erroneously placed them in the area of the targeted building. Add to this that the IDF, wanting to avoid collateral damage, has directed the missiles with precision on the identified place.
However, there is no official news from Israel on the outcome of the attack, nor from Hamas, Qatar and the USA. Only the Saudi newspaper ASHARQ AL-AWSAT reports that two high Hamas officials were injured in the attack, one seriously. Both are hospitalized in a private hospital under close surveillance. In the operation in Doha, at 1,800 kilometers from Israel, 15 hunting were used which launched 12 missiles outside the Qatarino air space, perhaps from the Gulf.
International media underlined, alluding to the hypothesis that Qatar was informed about the Raid, that the American manufacture aerial defense has not really come into action. And the alarm sirens have not been activated. Prime Minister Al-Thani explained that “the radar did not detect the Israeli weapon”, spoke of “response” and entrusted a team of lawyers the task of legal actions against Netanyahu.
The Israeli president Isaac Herzog in an interview with the Daily Mail said that the main objective was Khalil Al-Hayya, the Hamas chief negotiator who “hindered an agreement for the fire and liberation of the hostages to Gaza”: “He continued to say” yes, but “during the negotiations”. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of the Qatar explained to the CNN that Doha is thinking back to his role as a mediator in negotiations. In Israel he made it known that he was unavailable.
In the meantime, the IDF, after an urgent notice to the residents, has razed the Tayba Torre, the fifth building with several floors demolished in the last few days. Palestinian sources reported that the current military commander of Hamas, Izz al-Din Haddad, ordered the militiamen to stay in Gaza City and prepare for a battle of months. Other jihadist groups threatened to punish fighters if they had left the city. The population, on the other hand, is leaving the city, the estimate of the IDF is that 150 thousand residents have already moved to the southern strip.
