'Israel' targets high-rise buildings in Gaza City

Meanwhile, in an escalation of its annihilation of Gaza, Israeli warplanes bombed the Mushtaha Tower at the Ansar roundabout in western Gaza City, wounding several people who were transported from the scene by ambulance.

The building's administration confirmed that "Israel's" claims are "lies", emphasizing that the tower houses only displaced civilians and contains no military infrastructure. Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that the Israeli military has threatened to bomb more high-rise towers and buildings in and around Gaza City.

Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for the Gaza Civil Defense, stated that the targeting of high-rises and buildings "is not only striking stone, but a policy of forcibly displacing civilians," emphasizing that entire families are being forced out without shelter amid a lack of safe spaces.

"This danger not only threatens people's lives, but also strips them of their right to exist and live with dignity," Basal added, calling on the world "to act immediately to stop this organized crime."
