Qatar: Israel used weapons that we did not monitor on the radar
Qatar condemns the Israeli raid on Doha and describes it treacherously, stressing that there is no prior knowledge of it, and affirms its right to respond to the targeting of Hamas leaders, amid continued regional mediation efforts to achieve stability.
The Arab Defense website – September 9, 2025: The Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, said today, Tuesday, that Qatar will not tolerate the protection of its lands, stressing that the Israeli attack that targeted leaders of the Hamas movement in the capital, Doha, represents a rejected and left behavior. Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman added that his country formed a legal team to take all necessary measures to respond to this rogue behavior, stressing that the process exceeded all international laws and moral standards.
The minister affirmed that Israel used weapons that were not monitored on the Qatari radars, and that this attack came in a detailed moment that requires a response from the region to these violations. He pointed out that the United States informed Qatar of the attack ten minutes after the start of the raid, pointing out that this operation disrupted all the available peace opportunities in the region. He stressed that the raid was 100% treacherous and there was no prior knowledge of it, stressing at the same time that the Qatari mediation efforts will continue in various regional issues to achieve stability.
For its part, the Israeli Army Radio stated that the army and the Public Security Agency (the Shin Bet) launched a precise air strike targeting the Hamas leadership, noting that the targeted leaders were responsible for the movement’s activities over the years, including the massacre of October 7 and the administration of the war against Israel. The statement stressed that the Israeli forces have taken steps to reduce the injury of civilians using accurate ammunition and based on additional intelligence information.
In a related context, sources confirmed to Sky News Arabia that the explosion in Doha targeted a meeting of Hamas leaders abroad, while Israeli officials described the operation as “retaliatory” against the movement’s leaders in the Qatari capital, according to what was reported by the Israeli channel.
Israel is one of the most prominent air forces in the Middle East, and it is characterized by its advanced air arsenal that includes fifth-generation fighters such as the American F-35, known as “Adir” in the Hebrew language and means “strong”.
The Israeli Air Force received the first of these aircraft in 2016, and announced their operational readiness in December 2017 after intense training and technical integration at the Nevatim Air Force Base. These fighters are used in multiple tasks that include air attack, air defense and reconnaissance, and are characterized by advanced technologies that allow them to carry out accurate strikes against strategic targets, including recent operations in Iran, which reflects a high level of combat ability and technological development.
By November 2022, the number of Israeli F-35 aircraft in service reached 36 aircraft, including a test plane, and is operated within several swarms at the Nevatim base. In June 2024, Israel entered into a deal with the United States to purchase an additional 25 billion dollar aircraft, which will increase its total fleet to 75 aircraft by 2027. Israel has made local aircraft aircraft to enhance its performance, including developing electronic warfare systems to increase interference and penetration capabilities, and add adjustments to the external load to enable the plane to carry larger munitions, in addition to improving sensor systems and guidance to raise The accuracy of the attacks and the expansion of the targeting, which gave them the ability to carry out complex tasks that include the objection of ballistic missiles and drones.
“F-35” planes play an essential role in Israel’s military strategy, as it is used to implement accurate strikes against strategic targets in countries such as Iran and Syria, and it works as a tool for strategic deterrence by showing the ability to carry out complex operations in hostile environments. It also participates in joint training and tasks with the United States and other allies to enhance international cooperation in the field of security and reconnaissance. These aircraft show a superior ability to work in complex environments, which enhances Israel’s position as a leading air force in the region, and guarantees technological and strategic superiority in future conflicts.
It cannot be monitored with radars?
Israeli F-35 aircraft, like the rest of the fifth generation aircraft, are characterized by the capabilities of stealing or “steel”, which makes it difficult for the traditional radars to monitor them easily. These capabilities include the design of the fuselage in a way that reduces the reflection of radar waves, the use of materials that absorb radar signals, and special coating systems reduce the radar fingerprint.
However, it is important to clarify that these aircraft are not completely invisible, but can be monitored by very advanced radars or multi -spectrum detection systems (such as radar operating on low -frequency waves, or infrared sensor systems). So, the ability to “hide” means it is difficult to discover it quickly and accurately, which gives it a great advantage in carrying out accurate strikes before the defensive reaction.
