At around 03:15 local time (00:15 GMT), the threat level in Qatar was raised, with alerts recorded on mobile devices.
Minutes later, explosions were heard caused by interceptor missiles reflecting rockets launched from Iran. A total of about 12-13 explosions were heard. Approximately 10-15 minutes later, the threat level was lowered again, and it was announced that it had been eliminated.
The Ministry of Defense also reported that the armed forces intercepted a missile strike aimed at Qatar.
In addition to the events in Qatar, a new wave of attacks is observed in other countries in the region, originating from Iran.
In Bahrain, according to state media, at least 32 people were injured as a result of an Iranian drone attack on Sitra, including children.
In the United Arab Emirates, the night hours and morning were tense due to the repulsion of attacks. The Ministry of Defense reported on the response of air defense systems to missile and drone threats from Iran.
It was also reported that a fire occurred in the Fujairah oil zone, caused by debris from an intercepted drone.
Human Rights Watch reports that there is evidence of Israel's use of white phosphorus in residential areas of southern Lebanon earlier this month, which violates international humanitarian law.
In a new report, the human rights group confirmed the authenticity of seven photographs capturing the use of white phosphorus munitions over residential areas in Yomor, as well as fires that broke out in at least two homes on March 3.
Ramzi Kays, a researcher from Lebanon at Human Rights Watch, noted: "The illegal use of white phosphorus by the Israeli military over residential areas is deeply concerning and can have horrific consequences for the civilian population."
"The effects of white phosphorus can lead to death or serious injuries, causing lifelong suffering," he added.

Previously, Donald Trump stated that he does not approve of the choice of Mojtaba Khamenei and called him a "lightweight." He also expressed a desire to influence the appointment process.
For Iranians, this is an important moment. They emphasize that only Iran has the right to determine its fate, and no foreign power can dictate how they should act regarding their political destiny.
Virtually all political and power structures of the state expressed support for this appointment, including the president, the speaker of parliament, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the armed forces, paramilitary formations, the Supreme National Security Council, the national police, as well as the ministries of defense and intelligence.
This is yet another message of unity for Iran, especially for those trying to undermine the country, showing that their hopes for its immediate collapse after the killings at the beginning of the war will not come true. Iran is united, and the continuity of power is now ensured.
The people of Iran eagerly await the emergence of the new Supreme Leader.
Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared in public for a long time, and his supporters are waiting for him to address the nation. Until that happens, some find it strange.
The situation in the country remains tense, and there may be difficulties in informing the population without threatening its safety.
According to CBS News, the US may have struck a school in Iran due to outdated intelligence.
It is reported that the building was mistaken for a military facility, as two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facilities are located nearby.
Trump characterized the rise in oil prices as "a small price to pay"
Donald Trump stated that the sharp rise in oil prices in the context of the Middle Eastern conflict will eventually stabilize and is a small price for global security.
"The short-term rise in oil prices, which will quickly subside after the elimination of the Iranian nuclear threat, is a very small price for safety and peace for the US and the entire world," Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social.
"ONLY FOOLS THINK OTHERWISE!" he added.
After the weekend, the price of oil exceeded $100 per barrel, as major producers in the Middle East cut production.
The price of Brent crude rose by 18% to $108.68 per barrel. American WTI crude rose nearly 20%, reaching $108 per barrel.
This is the sharpest jump since February 2022, when, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, oil prices surged significantly.
These events occur against the backdrop of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for oil and gas supplies, effectively remaining closed due to military actions by the US and Israel against Iran.
