Witnesses recalled the huge explosion of Israel's airstrike on a Hamas building in Doha on Tuesday.
A nearby resident said he heard a loud noise.
"I live close, in the west bay. Yesterday, I was checking my emails and I heard a big noise, not really like an explosion, but I thought it was a plane, because often planes pass over this place. But after [that], I received information about the incident," he said.
A Brazilian man, who was in Doha on a business trip, said he heard a huge explosion and felt a strong shockwave.
"We felt the trembling, we felt the explosion. It was around 15:40, almost 16:00 in the afternoon," he said.
"My whole family and friends in Brazil were very worried about it. So, I have to explain to them that it's not something normal here, but we are risking our lives living here," he said.
Israel launched an unprecedented airstrike in the Qatari capital of Doha on Tuesday, targeting a building used by senior Hamas officials in what Israeli authorities described as an attempt to assassinate leaders of the group.
Hamas said Tuesday evening that the attack occurred while its delegation was discussing a new ceasefire proposal presented by U.S. President Donald Trump. According to the group, the negotiating team survived, but six others were killed.

China opposes the use or threat of force in international relations, opposes imposing one's own will on others, and opposes a return of the world to the "law of the jungle," Foreign Minister Wang Yi said during a phone conversation with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Thursday.

Saying that Iran has made preparations to respond to external interference while keeping the door wide open to dialog, Araghchi expressed hope that China would play a greater role in promoting regional peace and stability.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that China consistently upholds the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law, opposes the use or threat of force in international relations, opposes imposing one's own will on others, and opposes a return of the world to the "law of the jungle."
He said that the Chinese side believes the Iranian government and people will stay united, overcome difficulties, maintain national stability, and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
