Hamas says five members were killed in the attack, including the son of Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya. A member of Qatar’s security forces was also killed.

Qatar has condemned the “cowardly” attack and says there was no prior warning of the strike from the United States.

Israel continues to bombard Gaza, killing at least 52 Palestinians, including nine people seeking food aid, on Tuesday.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 64,605 people and wounded 163,319 since October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be under the rubble. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
