'''Summit of Fire''' was a military operation carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet on September 9, 2025, targeting senior Hamas leadership in Doha, [[Qatar]]. The operation aimed to eliminate key Hamas figures who were directly responsible for orchestrating the October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel, accompanied by mass rape, murder via suffocation of families hiding in shelters, burning people alive, etc., which resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 Israeli civilians. The targeted individuals also played a significant role in directing Hamas's ongoing operations against Israel.

The operation, a direct response to mounting threats against Hamas, follows clear warnings from both U.S. President [[Donald Trump]] and Israeli defense officials, signaling Israel's determination to dismantle Hamas' terror infrastructure. In the days leading up to the strike, Trump issued a "final warning" to Hamas, demanding they accept a proposed hostage exchange deal or face severe consequences. Meanwhile, Israel’s Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir made it clear that Hamas' senior leaders would not be safe, no matter where they were.

Also, the 'immediate' timing:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the decision to strike the Hamas leadership in Doha was a direct response to the deadly terror attack in Jerusalem [[Ramot Junction Shooting Massacre (2025)]] a day earlier, and Hamas's claim of responsibility for it.

Qatar, upset as its Hamas hosting is exposed further.
Qatar, upset as its Hamas hosting is exposed further.
As it was put: "If Hamas is the octopus, then Qatar has been the reef where it camouflaged itself - hiding in plain sight while extending its reach."
For its relationship with Qatar, the WH removed itself from being tied to the operation, but it was noted: "Israel would not have carried out such a dramatic strike without a green light from Washington. Its planes could not have entered Doha’s airspace without US forces stationed there detecting them – which means this operation was very likely one of the consequences Trump had in mind when he issued that warning."
