Israel carried out an unprecedented airstrike in Qatar's capital, Doha, targeting senior Hamas leaders. The attack hit a residential complex near a petrol station, with reports saying 15 fighter jets fired ten munitions at one site. Six people were killed, including the son of Hamas negotiator Khalil al-Hayya and a Qatari security officer. Hamas said its top leaders in Qatar, however, survived. Qatar condemned the strike as a violation of its sovereignty and warned of consequences. The strike followed a deadly Hamas shooting in Jerusalem on September 8. Global condemnation followed. US President Donald Trump distanced himself from the strike, stressing the decision was Benjamin Netanyahu's. Meanwhile, West Asian countries and the United Nations also condemned Israel's attack. But could this strike drag the region into deeper turmoil?
