DOHA / ISTANBUL (AA) – Qatar will host an emergency Arab-Islamic summit on Sept. 14-15 to discuss an Israeli attack on Doha, the state news agency QNA reported Thursday.

On Tuesday, Israeli warplanes launched an airstrike targeting Hamas leadership in Doha, killing five group members. Hamas confirmed that its leadership had survived the Israeli attack.

Qatar condemned the attack as a “cowardly act” and a blatant violation of international law, warning it would not tolerate Israel’s “reckless behavior.”
