Qatar’s Foreign Ministry also denounced the strike as a “cowardly assault” on residential facilities used by Hamas political bureau members, calling it a breach of international law and a “serious threat to the safety and security of citizens and residents.”

"Qatar will not tolerate any act targeting its security and sovereignty," they stressed.

The Israeli military admitted carrying out the operation, saying it had targeted Hamas leadership. Reports indicated the leaders survived.
