Interior Ministry: Qatari Security Officer Killed in Israeli Attack

Qatar’s Interior Ministry has confirmed that a member of the country’s security forces was killed during the Israeli attack on Doha, with several others reported wounded. The announcement marks one of the most direct impacts of the strike on Qatar itself, intensifying regional outrage over the assault.

In its statement, the ministry said: “Specialised crews are continuing to inspect and secure the targeted area with the explosives division of the internal security forces.” Authorities stressed that security teams remain on high alert to ensure public safety and to prevent further risks from unexploded devices or secondary threats.

The death of a Qatari security officer underscores the human toll of the escalating conflict beyond Gaza, as the violence now directly affects the Gulf region. While Qatar has often played a key diplomatic role in ceasefire negotiations, the latest attack highlights the vulnerability of the state and its personnel in the face of widening hostilities.

The incident also raises questions about the security of Arab Gulf states amid ongoing strikes, further straining regional relations with Israel. Qatar’s loss is expected to amplify calls from its allies for accountability and a stronger international response.

As investigations continue, Doha has urged residents to rely on official sources for updates while specialized teams secure the area. The Interior Ministry reiterated its commitment to maintaining safety despite the unprecedented escalation.
