On Tuesday, Israel launched an airstrike on a building in Qatar to kill Hamas leaders in Doha, escalating its military action in the Middle East. Hamas said that five of its members had been killed in the attack, and added that Israel had failed in what Hamas called an attempt to assassinate the group's ceasefire negotiation team.

Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said the airstrikes threatened to derail the peace talks Qatar has been mediating between Hamas and Israel.

The attack was condemned by the UAE , Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the European Union.
