Despite initial reports suggesting that the attack was launched from over or near the Persian Gulf, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that last Tuesday’s strike operation by the Israeli Air Force against a meeting of Hamas leadership in the Qatari capital of Doha, was actually carried out from over the Northern Red Sea, with twelve Israeli fighter jets, eight F-15s and four F-35s, firing several air-launched ballistic missile into space over Saudi Arabia at Qatar.
According to multiple senior U.S. officials briefed on the operation, it was only minutes before the strike that Israel notified the U.S. military it was carrying out an attack against Hamas, with the Israelis initially not providing precise information on the target, but space-based sensors operated by the U.S. Space Force detected infrared heat signatures projected by the launch and the trajectory of the missiles, confirming the target as Doha.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) alerted Gen. Dan Caine, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who in turn informed the White House. President Trump then directed Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to notify the Qataris, according to the White House. But it was too late. Qatar said the warning arrived around ten minutes after the missiles had already struck the meeting site in Doha.

There are some quite striking antenna similarities between the vessels used by Russia in the war in Black Sea and the vessels totally peacefully patrolling (and jamming) in the waters between Denmark and Germany.
