"Six coffins five of them draped in Palestinian flags, one in a Qatari flag were laid before the hundreds gathered for funeral prayers at Doha's Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque. Sitting in the front row of the congregation on Thursday was Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. He was there to honour those killed in an Israeli attack this week that has shaken Qatar."
"The attack took place on Tuesday afternoon in the city's West Bay Lagoon area. Several blasts rang out across Doha, sending up a thick plume of smoke and uniting its residents in equal parts shock and horror. Though the nature of the incident was quickly apparent, Doha's reputation for safety cast a shadow of doubt over whether it really could have been attacked. Since gaining independence in 1971, the country has faced no conflicts that have escalated into direct military action on its territory."
An Israeli strike hit a residential villa in Doha's West Bay Lagoon, targeting Hamas leaders during discussions on a US ceasefire proposal. Several people were killed; six coffins were presented at funeral prayers, five draped in Palestinian flags and one in a Qatari flag. Among the dead was Lance-Corporal Badr Saad Mohammed al-Humaidi al-Dosari, a 22-year-old member of the Internal Security Forces. Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani attended the funeral at Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque and comforted a grieving child. The blasts sent plumes of smoke across the city and left residents stunned, challenging Qatar's long-standing domestic safety.
