Israel carried out a strike against Hamas’ senior leadership on Tuesday in Doha, the capital of Qatar, marking a significant escalation in its multifront conflict in the region.

Loud explosions were heard in Doha, and according to video verified by NBC News, smoke was seen over an area that is both residential and home to a number of foreign embassies. Qatar confirmed that a member of its Internal Security Force was killed in the attack and a number of others were injured.

Qatar's Ministry of the Interior identified the deceased as Cpl. Bader Saad Mohammed Al Humaidi Al Dosari.

Suhail al-Hindi, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, told Al Jazeera television that Hamas leadership were meeting to discuss President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war when they were struck.

Isn't that literally an act of war against Qatar?
- Qatar is soon expected to fight some words back. UN will offer military help to Qatar in the shape of a very pointy speech.
- What do you mean? Israel is clearly simply defending itself from Qatar declaring war because they bombed it.
  
  And it's antisemitic to suggest otherwise!
- Israel and acts of war have a rather long history together.
Sounds Israel feels empowered by the current regime (in the US)
- More like empowered by every US regime since JFK
  
  I love how people remember JFK as a good president, when he was just hot while being shot in the head.
- They don't have to feel it. They're not only empowered, but also funded and supplied by every regime in the US.
  
  And most of Europe as well...
- You know the genocide started under democrat rule right? This was the response of the democrats when confronted https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/dnc-rejects-palestinian-speaker-attendees-cover-ears .
  The one issue both parties agree on is that the middle east must drown in palestinian blood.
Next time the US talks about having a military base in any other country this should be in the mind of that country. That the US is not and will not be a friend or a protector.
This freaking Nethan guy for real...attacking in an Arab nation. This is far from being over...
I am so glad that Harris wasn't voted for president. Who knows what she would have done.
- Sad to see that such a fine comment wasn’t recognized for the sarcasm it is.
- Literally nothing, which was the whole problem.
- Getting real tired of performative liberals commenting this same exact comment even though the answer is the same thing every time Israel does anything.
- I wonder.
  Say what did they do when Netanyahu crossed their red line of invading Rafah?
- we shall vote against them on the beaches
