Filipino in Doha recounts airstrikesMANILA, Philippines — For six to seven straight hours, the sky over Doha flashed with explosions as air defense systems intercepted incoming missiles, a Filipino worker there told The STAR. “Explosions have been ongoing for six to seven hours, but all were intercepted by the Doha military,” Rentoria said. She added that her mother is stranded at an airport in the Netherlands after airspace closures disrupted flights back to Doha. The Philippine embassy in Tel Aviv advised Filipinos to remain indoors and to prepare to seek shelter. The Philippine embassy in Tehran advised Filipinos in Iran, where there are around 800, to carefully assess their personal circumstances and to consider their travel plans.
