The day of the Doha strike failure and Mossad opposition

Israeli media started the day focusing on the aftermath of the Doha strike, with reports suggesting its failure to eliminate key Hamas leaders and US disappointment. President Trump's frustration with Prime Minister Netanyahu, attributing military actions to jeopardizing hostage negotiations, was a recurring theme. Mid-morning saw widespread coverage of a stabbing attack at Tzuba Hotel, classified as a terror attack, and later, the apprehension of Charlie Kirk's killer. By late afternoon, the narrative shifted back to the Doha strike, with Hamas officially denying the death of Khalil al-Haya and Israeli security assessments indicating top Hamas leaders were not present. The evening brought revelations of the Mossad's strong opposition to a ground operation in Qatar, which reportedly led to the aerial attack and intelligence gaps.
