Israel Bombs High-Rise Buildings in Gaza City Used for Terrorist Activity
(Telegraph-UK) Phoebe Hennell - Israel bombed several high-rise buildings in Gaza City where Hamas had installed cameras, war rooms, snipers and anti-tank missiles. The buildings were being used to direct attacks against Israeli forces operating in northern Gaza, the IDF said Friday. The 18-storey Mushtaha Tower in the Zeitoun district was being used for terrorist activity, with intelligence-gathering equipment and an underground escape tunnel nearby. Israel warned the building's residents on Friday morning in an effort to mitigate harm to civilians. IDF Arabic spokesman Lt.-Col. Avichay Adraee urged Gaza City residents to "take this opportunity to move early to the [Al-Mawasi] humanitarian zone and join the thousands of people who have already gone there." The IDF said the zone had essential "infrastructure such as field hospitals, water pipelines, and desalination facilities, alongside the continued supply of food, tents, medicines and medical equipment."
