The Gaza City offensive came as Secretary of State Marco Rubio left Israel for Qatar, a visit designed to stem regional anger over Israel’s strike on Hamas there.

Qatar’s prime minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, said in an interview with CNN that the Israeli strike in Doha was “state terror.”

Israeli authorities identified the two gunmen, who were killed at the scene, as Palestinians from the West Bank.

The two attackers were killed at the scene, police said, after a security officer and a civilian returned fire.

The Emiratis, who signed a peace deal with Israel in 2020, have warned publicly and privately that annexing the Palestinian territory would cross a red line.

The planned offensive has drawn condemnation from the United Nations, which warned it would lead to the forced displacement of about a million Palestinians.
