The State of Qatar expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the new Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which led to the deaths and injuries, and stressed the need for the international community to move urgently to stop the occupation's repeated attacks against civilians, especially women and children.

In a statement, the Qatari Foreign Ministry reiterated the State of Qatar's firm position on the justice of the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

Iran blamed Israel for the consequences of the "brutal attack" on the Gaza Strip, and Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani condemned, in a statement, "the brutal attack of the Zionist apartheid regime on Gaza and the assassination of leaders in the resistance and a group of defenseless Palestinians."

He considered that "the responsibility for the crime and the consequences of this regime's aggression and attack on Palestine and Gaza rests entirely with the Israeli apartheid regime."

The Al-Quds Brigades said, "The senior commander, Tayseer Mahmoud Al-Jabari, a member of the Military Council and the commander of the northern region, who rose as a result of a Zionist raid targeting him this evening in Gaza City, bled out."
