The German foreign ministry has released a statement in German regarding Israels attack on Qatars capital Doha earlier today

https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/newsroom/2734254-2734254

English translation:

Israel's attack in Doha not only violates Qatar's territorial sovereignty, but also jeopardizes all of our efforts to secure the release of the hostages. This strike is unacceptable.

I am extremely concerned about the lives and safety of the hostages in the hands of Hamas, including German citizens. I expressed this to my Israeli counterpart Gideon Sa'ar in a telephone conversation.

Qatar is playing a crucial role in the efforts to achieve a ceasefire and secure the release of the hostages.

I have expressed my solidarity, gratitude, and appreciation for these efforts to my Qatari colleague Sheikh Mohammed.

I urgently call for everything possible to be done now to finally bring about a ceasefire and allow the hostages to return to their families.

It remains clear that it is up to Hamas to lay down its arms and renounce terror against the State of Israel. Also the current escalation is a result of Hamas’s abhorrent terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Der Angriff Israels in Doha verletzt nicht nur die territoriale Souveränität Katars, sondern gefährdet auch unser aller Bemühungen zur Freilassung der Geiseln. Dieser Schlag ist inakzeptabel.

Ich bin in größter Sorge über das Leben und die Sicherheit der Geiseln in den Händen der Hamas, darunter auch deutsche Staatsangehörige. Dies habe ich meinem israelischen Amtskollegen Gideon Sa’ar gegenüber in einem Telefonat zum Ausdruck gebracht.

Katar spielt eine entscheidende Rolle bei den Bemühungen um einen Waffenstillstand und um die Freilassung der Geiseln.

Meinem katarischen Kollegen Sheikh Mohammed habe ich meine Solidarität sowie meinen Dank und meine Anerkennung für diese Bemühungen ausgesprochen.

Ich rufe dringend dazu auf, jetzt alles dafür zu tun, dass es endlich zu einem Waffenstillstand kommt und die Geiseln zu ihren Familien zurückkehren können.

Dabei ist weiter klar: Es ist an Hamas, die Waffen niederzulegen und den Terror gegen den Staat Israel aufzugeben. Auch die aktuelle Eskalation ist ein Ergebnis des abscheulichen Terrorangriffs der Hamas auf Israel vom 7. Oktober 2023.

Die tunesischen Nationalgarde behauptet das Feuer sei durch ein Feuerzeug, eine Zigarette o.ä. verursacht worden und schließt einen Drohnenangriff kategorisch aus.

Mehrere Videos des Angriffs zeigen jedoch, wie ein brennender Gegenstand aus mehreren Metern Höhe auf das Schiff geworfen wird und auf Deck explodiert.

Konkrete Videos des Angriffs sind in folgenden Updates zu sehen:

Leider konnte ich bisher kaum Nachrichten auf Deutsch finden. Diese gehen bisher auch nicht auf die Videos ein, die den Angriff belegen.

Local news report translated with deepl:

There has been further unrest at and around the Elbit branch in Ulm: According to the police, several individuals broke into the building in the Böfingen district early on Monday morning. At around 3:30 a.m., security personnel reported several individuals on Eberhard-Finckh-Straße in Ulm.
They threw paint bombs at the entrance area and set off smoke bombs. In addition, the suspects sprayed graffiti with “presumed political content” on the parking lot, according to a press release from the Ulm police and the Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Police Office. Some of the activists are even said to have broken into the building. To do so, they smashed several windows on the building.
The police did not officially confirm either the name of the company or the fact that the troublemakers were activists. However, several sources at our editorial office confirm this. The police first surrounded the company building and were able to arrest several people on an upper floor without resistance shortly thereafter. The State Security and Anti-Terrorism Center of the Baden-Württemberg State Criminal Police Office has taken over further investigations. Protests against the company repeatedly take place in front of its building and in Ulm city center. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators accuse the company of deliberately producing “lethal drones” for use in the Gaza Strip. Criticism of the state of Israel also regularly features in these demonstrations. In the past, demonstrators have often called on the Ulm city administration to close the Elbit branch in Ulm. However, according to its own statements, Elbit in Ulm primarily manufactures modern radio communication systems, night vision devices, drones, and cyber and command systems—including for the German Armed Forces.
