This occurred shortly after the expiration of the temporary humanitarian ceasefire, which came into effect at 7 a.m. on Friday, November 24th, and was initially extended for an additional three days.<\/p>\n<p>Video footage captured from a nearby area revealed the initial moments of the airstrikes, with a massive plume of black smoke billowing from the towers of Hamad City. Civilians were observed running to avoid the aftermath of the bombardment.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, an individual was seen documenting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2023\/11\/14\/a-glimpse-into-the-harsh-realities-faced-by-journalists-amidst-israeli-airstrikes\/\">Israeli<\/a> airstrikes on the towers, which were constructed through the generosity of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the father of the current Amir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad.<\/p>\n<p>A second clip depicted a missile descending from above onto one of the towers, accompanied by flames and a rising column of black smoke.<\/p>\n<h3>Israeli Strikes Precede Attack on Qatari Committee Headquarters for Gaza Reconstruction<\/h3>\n<p>Prior to the recent airstrikes on Hamad City, the Israeli forces targeted the headquarters of the Qatari Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza. Activists believe that Israel deliberately attacks structures constructed by Qatar in the Gaza Strip, including offices affiliated with Doha within the besieged territory.<\/p>\n<p>In mid-November, the occupation forces also subjected the headquarters of the Qatari Committee for Gaza Reconstruction to bombardment. The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned what it described as an &#8220;Israeli airstrike&#8221; on the committee&#8217;s headquarters in Gaza.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"ar\">\u0628\u064a\u0627\u0646| \u0642\u0637\u0631 \u062a\u062f\u064a\u0646 \u0628\u0623\u0634\u062f \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0628\u0627\u0631\u0627\u062a \u0642\u0635\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0627\u062d\u062a\u0644\u0627\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0626\u064a\u0644\u064a \u0644\u0645\u0642\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u062c\u0646\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0629 \u0644\u0625\u0639\u0627\u062f\u0629 \u0625\u0639\u0645\u0627\u0631 \u063a\u0632\u0629<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AC%D9%8A%D8%A9_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0627\u0644\u062e\u0627\u0631\u062c\u064a\u0629_\u0627\u0644\u0642\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0629<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XaUESlb5om\">pic.twitter.com\/XaUESlb5om<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u0627\u0644\u062e\u0627\u0631\u062c\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0637\u0631\u064a\u0629 (@MofaQatar_AR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MofaQatar_AR\/status\/1724089688829337973?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 13, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Qatar&#8217;s foreign ministry deemed this attack a blatant violation of international law, an extension of the occupation&#8217;s approach in targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, residential areas, and shelters for displaced persons.<\/p>\n<p>In its statement, the ministry highlighted that the bombing of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2023\/11\/28\/qatars-diplomatic-triumphs-navigating-global-challenges-with-mediation-excellence-in-the-israeli-war-on-gaza\/\">Qatari<\/a> Committee&#8217;s headquarters aligns with a policy of targeting humanity, particularly as the committee, through its projects, worked to alleviate the suffering of the residents in the beleaguered Gaza Strip, plagued by prolonged blockade and ongoing aggression.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-gnnhn-79elbk h-full\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-gnnhn-1n7m0yu\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col pb-9 text-sm\">\n<div class=\"w-full text-token-text-primary\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-13\">\n<div class=\"px-4 py-2 justify-center text-base md:gap-6 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-1 text-base mx-auto gap-3 md:px-5 lg:px-1 xl:px-5 md:max-w-3xl lg:max-w-[40rem] xl:max-w-[48rem] } group final-completion\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-full flex-col lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)] agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col max-w-full\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] text-message flex flex-col items-start gap-3 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5 overflow-x-auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"b4da3805-232c-4823-9413-b6a797461fdf\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<h3>Incendiary Attacks and Intensive Shelling Target Southern Areas of Gaza<\/h3>\n<p>On Friday evening, Israeli forces deployed incendiary belts and launched illuminating grenades over central and eastern Khan Younis.
