Middle East strikes escalate as Qatar threatens retaliation

Israeli forces have destroyed an apartment block in Beirut allegedly housing Hezbollah funds, while striking the world's largest natural gas field shared between Iran and Qatar. The attacks have triggered retaliatory strikes and prompted Qatar to consider military engagement, causing oil prices to surge to US$108 per barrel. Israel has also assassinated another high-ranking Iranian intelligence minister, adding to recent killings of top Iranian officials as the regime struggles with leadership succession.
