Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War
Did they use missiles, or planes ?
I would have though Qatar would shoot down any planes.

Qatar are harbouring terrorists and terrorist funding.
They are absolutely legitimate targets.
Saudi Arabia are not friends with Qatar, nor are the UAE (or Bahrain most likely).
Qatar are Islamist supporters, I doubt anyone in the region will care if they’re bombed.
The only problem is that it is Israel doing the bombing, but i don’t think they’ll make much noise.

Re: Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran … War

That information is out of date.
The Al-Ula Declaration signed in January 2021 has seen them become friends again. As of July 2023, Bahrain, Chad, Egypt, Maldives, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, and the UAE had restored diplomatic ties with Qatar.

Israel's unexpected strike has angered not only Qatar and its Middle East neighbours, but also its own closest ally in Washington and, though it claimed the attack was "precise", the IDF missed its targets.

They claim it was a "precise strike", but none of the Hamas leadership were taken out as they claimed was their objective.
Five lower-ranking officials were killed along with a member of Qatar's security forces. What it has done is left any hope of ceasefire talks in tatters.
For many, this was a huge miscalculation by Benjamin Netanyahu.

Because the US asked them to and Israel agreed.
Quote:
In 2011, the US government persuaded the Qataris to let Hamas open a political office in Doha, and the Israelis approved of the idea.
Everyone wanted an address to negotiate with and funnel millions of dollars through to Gaza.
In the words of one Israeli official: "We believe that better conditions in Gaza would lessen the incentive of Hamas and the population to go again to a war. So in a way, it is helping the deterrence."
Critics of Benjamin Netanyahu said he was deliberately strengthening one wing of Palestinian politics as part of a cynical policy of divide and rule.
For whatever reason, Israel acquiesced fully in the Hamas political office being set up in Doha. It was staffed with some of the veterans of its cause who seem to have been on the target list in this strike.
