Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani described the attack as "state terrorism" that targeted the security and stability of the region.

"Qatar reserves the right to respond to this blatant attack and will take all necessary measures to respond," he told a press conference late on Tuesday night. "We believe that today we have reached a pivotal moment. There must be a response from the entire region to such barbaric actions."

Hamas said five of its lower-ranking members and a Qatari security official were killed in the airstrike, but that all its leaders survived the attack.
