Israeli missile attack destroys residential block in Gaza City

Video footage obtained and verified by Al Jazeera shows the moment the Israeli military bombed a residential building in the al-Daraj neighbourhood in Gaza City earlier in the day.

One video shows a single missile striking the top floor of the residential block, causing a large explosion and a cloud of dark smoke to fill the sky. Other videos show people in the surrounding streets running for shelter as smoke engulfs the area.

The building was almost destroyed. One side collapsed, exposing the interior of the apartments. Residents can be seen climbing in the rubble.
