Qatar condemns Israeli’s targeting of facilities linked to Iran’s energy infrastructure Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari issued a statement calling Israel’s strikes on Iran’s natural gas sites “a dangerous and irresponsible step amid the current military escalation in the region”. He warned the attacks constitute “a threat to global energy security, as well as to the peoples of the region and its environment" and called for “all parties to exercise restraint, adhere to international law, and work towards de-escalation in a manner that preserves the security and stability of the region”. Iran’s South Pars field, which was hit earlier today, is the world’s largest natural gas field, with both Qatar and Iran operating facilities on it. Iran issued evacuation orders for five energy facilities in the Gulf in retaliation, including the Ras Laffan refinery in Qatar.
Beirut death toll from Israeli strikes rises to 10, with 27 injured Lebanon’s health ministry has reported that casualties from Israeli air strikes on Beirut’s Basta and Zuqaq al-Blat districts this morning have increased, with 10 dead and 27 injured so far. The Israeli military warned of further escalation in southern Lebanon, saying it intends to target bridges across the Litani River, and reiterated its evacuation order to the tens of thousands of residents living in the south of the region. Israel previously struck the Zrarieh Bridge, which connects villages on either side of the Litani river, on Friday. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the bridge served as a “key crossing for terrorists from the Hezbollah terrorist organisation”, but did not provide any evidence for this claim. Targeting of civilian infrastructure such as bridges is prohibited under international law, with possible exemptions in some cases if it is being used for military purposes.

By Alessandro Parodi March 18 (Reuters) - As Emirates flight EK10 from London cruised over Saudi Arabia on Monday, news broke of a drone strike at its destination, Dubai. The aircraft turned back to Gatwick, flight data show, completing a 9,100 km (6,150 miles) round trip — one of dozens of "flights to nowhere" triggered by the Middle East war. Roughly 30 Emirates flights heading to Dubai International were also ordered back or rerouted after Iranian drone attacks temporarily shut what is normally the world's busiest airport for international passengers.
