Reuters is snapping reports of several explosions in the Katara district of Doha, the capital of Qatar, with the Axios news website and Israel’s Kan television, both quoting Israeli officials, saying it was an assassination operation against Hamas officials, a claim the Guardian could not immediately confirm.

The blasts were reported in the Katara district, which is home to the Katara Cultural Quarter, a reconstructed souk full of restaurants popular with tourists.
 

Qatar condemns 'cowardly criminal assault' on Doha it says violated international laws​

Majed Al Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar’s foreign ministry, has issued a statement on X in response to the Israeli attack in Doha. Here is the statement in full:

The State of Qatar strongly condemns the cowardly Israeli attack that targeted residential buildings housing several members of the Political Bureau of Hamas in the Qatari capital, Doha.

This criminal assault constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms, and poses a serious threat to the security and safety of Qataris and residents in Qatar.

The Ministry affirms that the security forces, civil defense, and relevant authorities immediately began addressing the incident and taking necessary measures to contain its repercussions and ensure the safety of the residents and surrounding areas.

While the State of Qatar strongly condemns this assault, it confirms that it will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behavior and the ongoing disruption of regional security, nor any act that targets its security and sovereignty.

Investigations are underway at the highest level, and further details will be announced as soon as they are available.

“… Nothing in the agreement should be “interpreted or construed” as “an offer, promise, or acceptance of any form of bribery, undue influence, or corrupt practice,” the memo adds, calling it a “bona fide gift.”…”

I guess Qatar didn’t get what they didn’t pay for(??)

 
There have been a large amount of protests here in Halifax over this.


Canada-Israel Davis Cup matches in Halifax closed to fans due to safety concerns​

Event will go ahead in a closed venue due to 'escalating safety concerns,' says Tennis Canada​



Halifax pulls funding​

In August, the Halifax council had approved $50,000 in funding for the matches at the Scotiabank Centre as it is considered a tourism event, despite protesters opposing the decision.

A city spokesman told CBC News in an e-mail on Tuesday that the funding has been cancelled because the event no longer delivers "the tourism, economic and other benefits that would have been expected had it proceeded as originally planned."

A spokesperson for Halifax Regional Police said it was not involved with Tennis Canada's decision to close the venue and it is not one of the "local authorities" referenced in the statement.

The Gaza family torn apart by IDF snipers from Chicago and Munich

Five-month investigation reveals how four members of one family were shot and killed in a single day and highlights a pattern in which Israeli troops target unarmed civilians

Daniel Raab shows no hesitation as he watches footage of 19-year-old Salem Doghmosh crumpling to the ground beside his brother in a street in northern Gaza.

“That was my first elimination,” he says. The video, shot by a drone, lasts just a few seconds. The Palestinian teenager appears to be unarmed when he is shot in the head.


Raab, a former varsity basketball player from a Chicago suburb who became an Israeli sniper, concedes he knew that. He says he shot Salem simply because he tried to retrieve the body of his beloved older brother Mohammed.

“It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”
