• Qatar held a funeral for six individuals killed in an Israeli strike targeting Hamas leaders.
• Regional leaders are visiting Doha to express solidarity following the attack.
• Hamas accuses the US of complicity in the Israeli assault, which impacted ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
• The attack has heightened tensions and prompted calls for an emergency summit to decide collective regional responses.
• Doha's residents express shock and unease after an unprecedented military action on their territory.

The funeral for six individuals, including five Hamas members and a Qatari security official, was held at the Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque in Doha amid heightened security. Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani was present, emphasizing solidarity with those affected by the Israeli attack, which raised concerns among residents unfamiliar with the region's history of conflict, according to Dawn and TRT Global.

The attack, which occurred on Tuesday, targeted a meeting of Hamas leaders in Doha, resulting in significant casualties but reportedly failing to eliminate key figures. Among those killed were top negotiator Khalil al-Hayya's son and several aides. The attack's implications were severe, halting fragile ceasefire negotiations, as noted by Al Jazeera and Dawn.

In response to the attack, Hamas condemned both Israel and the United States, accusing the latter of being an accomplice in the incident which they described as an attack on the negotiation process. The remarks were echoed by Hamas official Fawzi Barhoum, who expressed deep concerns about the attack’s timing during vital peace talks, according to TRT Global.

The geopolitical fallout included a significant display of regional support for Qatar, with leaders from several Arab nations visiting to show solidarity. This event has prompted Qatar to consider its role as a mediator in regional conflicts amidst rising tensions, as highlighted by Dawn and Al Jazeera.

The emotional atmosphere at the funeral was underscored by Doha residents reflecting on their previous sense of safety and disbelief at the extent of the attack. Local sentiment is mixed, with many expressing anxiety over future security as military action unfolds directly on their territory, according to Al Jazeera and TRT Global.

The situation has garnered a broader international response, with the UN Security Council condemning the attack and the US President commenting that such military action in Qatar is concerning. Critics have questioned whether this will lead to effective measures to prevent similar actions in the future as discussions of collective responses among regional powers continue, notes TRT Global and Dawn.
