Israeli airstrikes completely destroyed the building, which was once served by international media offices such as Al Jazeera’s in the Gaza Strip.

It is not clear whether there were casualties in the attack. Al Jazeera’s live video showed that the 11-story Al Jalaa building also contained many residences and other offices, which fell to the ground after being bombarded with dust and debris flying into the air.

The building also houses the Associated Press.

Safwat Al Kahlout of Al Jazeera reported from Gaza that residents of the building received a call from the Israeli army warning of an impending strike for about an hour.

Al Kahlout, who was in the building at the time, said that he and his colleagues “started to collect as much as possible from people and equipment, especially cameras.”

After observing that at least three missiles hit the building and subsequently collapsed, Al Kahlout said that he had worked in the building for 11 years and frequently reported on the spot from its roof.

He said: “I have been reporting many incidents in this building.” “We have many good memories with our colleagues.”

It is not clear why the buildings were Israeli targets, but when Israelis attacked Palestinian enclaves, sometimes dozens of buildings were demolished after warning calls or missile “light strikes”.

Al Kahlout said: “Right now, no one can understand the feeling of people whose houses are destroyed by this kind of airstrike.” “It’s really hard to wake up one day, and then you realize all you have There is no office there for professional experience and memories.”

Since Israel began bombing on Monday, at least 140 people have been killed in Gaza, including 39 children and 22 women.

In Israel, armed groups in Gaza launched a rocket attack, killing 7 people, including a 5-year-old boy and a soldier.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, an airstrike hit a three-story house in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, killing eight children and two women in a large family.
