Poland accused Russia of violating its airspace 19 times overnight, during its bombardment of neighboring Ukraine. Moscow denied the drones were Russian.

Hamas said that Khalil al-Hayya, who had been leading indirect ceasefire talks with Israel, survived the deadly attacks on his villa in Doha, Qatar.

Since Hamas's Oct. 7 incursion, Israel has invaded Gaza and attacked five countries, including Iran and Syria.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike on Doha could "open the door to an end of the war." Nobody in the region is buying it.

Israeli-Russian dual citizen Elizabeth Tsurkov was kidnapped in 2023 by an Iran-backed militia in Iraq, and Trump said she has been moved to the U.S. embassy there.

Qatar says it will continue its efforts to mediate between Israel and Hamas. But diplomats and analysts believe the short term prospects for peace look dim.

The attack in the Qatari capital, Doha, sought to assassinate much of Hamas's leadership, but the militant group said no senior figures were killed.

The IDF said Tuesday that it carried out a strike targeting Hamas senior leadership. Qatar's foreign ministry confirmed an attack on Hamas political leaders in Doha.
