The building housed businesses as well as offices for Hamas’ Al-Aqsa satellite TV channel. It was located in the old Roman neighborhood, on the busiest shopping street in Gaza.
Hamas says it has fired 130 rockets toward Israel in response for the attack on Wednesday.
The Israeli airstrike was the latest in a series of assaults on targets in the Gaza Strip after a long dispute between Israel and Hamas erupted into an exchange of rocket attacks from Gaza and Israeli retaliation.
The building is the third multistory structure that Israeli aircraft have hit directly, reducing two to rubble. The third is still standing but in irreparable condition.
I believe this is the first time Israel is deliberately going after these residential buildings that are used to store and manufacture weapons. Mazal tov. It’s about time. We’ve been calling for this for decades.
AP Fake news leaves out, Israel bombed them after advance notice to evacuate so we avoid deaths’ of innocent civilians. They are liars and the enmey of our people. Shame of the fake news.
great job Bibi, bombing EMPTY buildings I am sure that Hamas is running scared and we know Qatar will pay for reconstruction. Putin in Grozny leveled the place and specifically bombed the maternity ward and the Chechens are now killing each other and not real Russians as Putin created an internal civil war.
Darn it!! No video? That would have been really sweet to watch.
Bombing empty buildings won’t accomplish a thing. Bibi is weak.
Sadly, very sadly in fact, Israel is fighting a war with one hand tied behind its back.
No matter what they do and how they do it they are in a bind. They can’t allow a lopsided Gaza casualty rate because that will bring the world, not to mention the ICC sniffing around.They can’t do nothing because then they’re at the mercy of the terrorists.
What can they do………………
