The day began with lingering uncertainty over the previous day's Doha strike against Hamas leadership, with security officials increasingly doubting its success, noting prior warnings to Hamas by Egypt and Turkey. Concurrently, the unexpected release of Israeli captive Elizabeth Tsurkov from Iraq remained a central story, detailing Trump's role and alleged conditions. By mid-afternoon, Israeli media's focus abruptly shifted to extensive reports of Israeli Air Force strikes, "Operation Bell Rings," against Houthi military targets in Sana'a, Yemen, involving a long-range operation with multiple jets. In the late afternoon, Prime Minister Netanyahu issued an ultimatum to Qatar and Turkey to expel Hamas leaders, prompting a strong rebuke from Qatar's Prime Minister, who accused Netanyahu of regional chaos and threatened a "response," while re-evaluating their mediation role. In the evening, news of the shooting of pro-Israeli activist Charlie Kirk in Utah emerged, quickly dominating headlines. President Trump later announced Kirk's death, an event that became the day's culminating story.
