A sandstorm hit Maricopa County, Arizona, in the United States. The sandstorm left 11,000 homes without power, and reduced the visibility, causing traffic delays. The sandstorm had a width of 80 kilometers and a height of 6,000 feet, according to reports. The wind speed of the sandstorm was reported to reach 105 kilometers per hour in some areas.
Israeli media revealed that 10 warplanes carried out yesterday’s strike on Hamas officials in Doha, flying 1,800 kilometers through the airspace of Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The jets fired 10 missiles at a building where Hamas leaders were meeting on a Gaza ceasefire, with the mission lasting 10 minutes and requiring mid-air refueling.
US President Donald Trump said he was informed of the operation but stressed it was Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision. Calling Qatar “a strong ally,” Trump warned the strike inside the Gulf state did not serve US or Israeli interests, though he said eliminating Hamas remained a “worthy objective.”
