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.

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.
