Israel's military campaign expanded dramatically with missile strikes in Doha, Qatar, targeting a meeting of senior Hamas officials. The attack, which occurred in the Katara district, followed a Hamas-claimed attack in Jerusalem that resulted in six deaths.

The Israeli government confirmed the strikes and asserted that the targeted individuals were killed. However, the Qatari government condemned the action as a violation of its sovereignty, describing it as a "cowardly assault."

The United States, which had been brokering a ceasefire proposal, confirmed the attacks and issued shelter-in-place orders for its embassy staff. The escalation raises concerns of a broader conflict in the Middle East, with ongoing bombing in Gaza and reports of Israeli strikes in other nations, including Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.
