The development of the Israeli operation against Doha exposes not only Tel Aviv’s military audacity, but also the fragility and impotence of Iran’s neighboring Arab regimes.

🔹 Covert entry: Israeli fighter jets entered Jordanian and Saudi Arabian airspace without sending any signals to air traffic controllers. In Amman and Riyadh, they believed it was another mission against Yemen and did nothing.

🔹 Surprise change of target: Halfway through the route, the warning came: “The target has changed, do not interfere.” The Saudis, convinced that it was an attack on Iran, celebrated… until they discovered that the real target was Qatar. Only then did they receive the call from Tel Aviv confirming that the attack would be directed eastward.

🔹 Miscalculations in the region: While the Americans and Saudis were monitoring the movements of Iran and Yemen, they completely ignored the Israeli maneuver. Even the Qatari Air Force, which detected the planes from a distance, assumed that it was a deployment against Iran and did not take preventive measures.

🔹 Execution of the attack: Israeli fighter jets flew over eastern Saudi Arabia—where air traffic is dense—launched cruise missiles at Doha, and left the area unopposed.

🔹 Ineffective defenses: Qatari air defense systems, under US control, did not react at all. To make matters worse, NATO’s identification system (IFF) classified the Israeli planes as “friendly,” which ruled out any possibility of response.

🔹 Political outcome: Qatar was left virtually blind and paralyzed, unable to defend itself or exercise real sovereignty over its airspace. What happened reflects what many describe as the ultimate humiliation for Arab governments in the region: dependent, weak, and totally incapable of responding to direct aggression.
