Israel launched an airstrike in Doha, targeting Hamas leaders, resulting in casualties including a Hamas official's son and a Qatari security officer. The attack, condemned internationally including by the US, is viewed as a significant escalation in the Israeli-Hamas conflict. Israel claims the targeted individuals orchestrated attacks on Israel. Qatar strongly denounced the violation of its sovereignty, while the White House stated the action didn't advance US or Israeli goals. The UN also condemned the strike.
