Israel demolishes high-rise building in Gaza City as part of ramped-up offensive

Israel Defense Forces intensified strikes on Gaza City high-rises, targeting Hamas surveillance and command centers amid warnings for civilian evacuation, with at least 50 buildings demolished so far.

  • On Monday, Israel's military struck and demolished a 12-story office building in Gaza City after warning residents to evacuate, part of an offensive to seize the city of some 1 million residents.
  • At a cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, 'We are deepening the manoeuvre on the outskirts of Gaza City and within Gaza City itself' after Israel's cabinet approved intensified operations last month to pressure Hamas.
  • Israeli aircraft dropped thousands of leaflets urging residents of Gaza City to evacuate western neighbourhoods before strikes; witness Mohammed Al-Nazli said the Al-Roya Tower blast felt 'Like an earthquake' as it was completely destroyed, while Al-Quds hospital reported one death.
  • Gaza's Health Ministry reported at least 64,522 Palestinians killed, with large parts destroyed and around 90% of the population of some 2 million displaced; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said around 100,000 residents left Gaza City.
  • Hamas's Oct. 7 attack left 251 people abducted and 1,200 killed, stalling ceasefire talks as Qatar suspended its mediator role and analysts warn strikes hinder negotiators.
