‘We continue’: Israel Katz vows to keep striking Gaza City

Israel Katz, Israel’s defence minister, posted a video showing the tower that has been struck in Gaza City by the Israeli army as it collapsed in an enormous cloud of smoke.

“We continue,” read the post on X.

The strike comes after Israel hit another high-rise building in Gaza City, saying Hamas used it for surveillance, without providing evidence. Hamas denied those claims.


Israeli army confirms it struck Gaza City high-rise

The Israeli military has acknowledged it has struck the Soussi Tower in Gaza City today, claiming the high-rise was used by Hamas, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports.

Israel has used similar justification for its attacks on other residential buildings throughout its assault on Gaza.

Hamas has vehemently denied the allegations and condemned the strike as a “crime”.

It was the second high-rise hit in as many days in the city as Israeli forces pound the area in a bid to seize it and force residents to flee south. The building was sheltering displaced families who have lost their homes throughout the nearly two-year war.



Israeli army destroys more than 70 percent of Gaza City buildings: Report

The Israeli military has destroyed more than 70 percent of the buildings in Gaza City, according to local reports, as its campaign against residential towers widens.

The destruction in Gaza’s most populous city has forced dozens of families to flee once again, leaving them without shelter.

Israeli soldiers have stepped up attacks in the area as their commanders plan to seize the urban centre and forcibly displace more than one million people from the famine-stricken area.
