In a significant escalation of military action, Israel has conducted airstrikes targeting senior Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar. This offensive is reportedly a response to recent violence in Jerusalem and comes as diplomatic efforts for a Gaza ceasefire were underway. Initial reports indicate multiple blasts in the Qatari capital, and while Hamas leadership survived the attacks, local sources suggest that civilians may have been among the casualties. The Israeli military confirmed the strikes, prompting regional and international backlash, including a condemnation from the Qatari government, labeling the actions a flagrant violation of international law. The U.S. Embassy in Doha has issued a shelter-in-place order following the strikes, as the situation unfolds and tensions in the region escalate.
