In a significant escalation in the Middle East, Israel launched strikes targeting top Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday. The Israeli military confirmed the attacks, which followed a deadly shooting in Jerusalem claimed by Hamas. Gulf countries, including the UAE, quickly condemned the strikes, calling them a ‘dangerous escalation’ and a blatant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty.
UAE officials expressed strong support for Qatar amidst the incident, emphasizing the importance of respecting international laws and the sovereignty of nations. Qatar has denied reports that the United States had prior notice of the strike, maintaining that it was an unexpected attack.
Despite the military actions and tensions, airline carriers from the UAE and Qatar reported no impact on flights, with airports operating as scheduled, including flights to and from Doha. The target of the strikes included Khalil Al-Hayya, a top Hamas figure who is part of the leadership council overseeing Hamas activities since last year.
This development adds to the ongoing conflict in the region, signaling increased hostilities and raising concerns among Gulf nations about regional stability and security.
