JUST IN: Qatar Says It Shot Down Two Iranian Jets in Its Airspace

"We've learned from Qatar's defense ministry the country shot down two Iranian jets that entered their airspace. We know that they've been receiving attacks from the Iranians, and they have been taking action not only now to shoot down jets but also incoming ballistic missiles. The Qataris have also ceased production of liquefied natural gas in their country for the first time in 30 years over these attacks."

"On the Israeli side, their operation has dismantled 600 terrorist sites using 2,500 munitions and destroying 150 surface-to-surface missiles. More than 100,000 reservists have been mobilized in the effort."

"The war is expanding overnight. The Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah launching rockets into northern Israel. The Israelis responded with airstrikes against Beirut. You can see the smoke billowing from the Dahiya neighborhood of southern Beirut. The Israelis say they have to keep the pressure up on this Iran-backed organization to discourage other proxies from joining into the fight."

The Middle East conflict escalated significantly as Qatar's defense ministry confirmed shooting down two Iranian jets that entered its airspace, marking the first time in 30 years Qatar halted liquefied natural gas production due to attacks. Iran retaliated against joint Israeli-U.S. airstrikes over the weekend that killed top Iranian officials and destroyed 600 terrorist sites using 2,500 munitions and 150 surface-to-air missiles. The conflict expanded as Iran-backed Hezbollah launched rockets into northern Israel, prompting Israeli airstrikes on Beirut's Dahiya neighborhood. Over 100,000 Israeli reservists were mobilized for the operation. Iranian ballistic missiles traversed Israeli skies with some being intercepted, while the Lebanese prime minister called on Hezbollah to cease fire.
