“Pakistan is firmly with the state of Qatar, as well as with the people of Palestine, against Israel’s aggression,” he added.

Qatar said that the Israeli strikes went to the houses of several members of the Hamas political office residing in the Gulf country, where the main leadership of the militant group is based.
The strikes were carried out jointly by the Army and the Shin Bet security agency, the two agencies said in a statement.
Neither Israeli officials nor national media have confirmed whether the attacks reached their planned objectives. Hamas has not commented on the fate of its leaders either.
