Israel notified the United States before it carried out airstrikes on senior Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital Doha, a White House official says.

“We were informed in advance,” the official tells AFP on condition of anonymity about the strike on Qatar, a key US ally that’s home to a large US military base.
