Israel-Gaza tower strike: 'It was like an entire neighbourhood evacuating in minutes'
A tower block in Gaza, housing the offices of the Associated Press and Al Jazeera news outlets, collapsed after being hit by an Israeli strike at the weekend. The building had been evacuated beforehand after the owner received a warning by Israel in advance of the attack, Reuters news agency reported. In a statement released shortly afterwards, the Israeli military said the building housed military assets belonging to Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that rules Gaza.
Al Jazeera reporter Youmna Al Sayed describes the chaotic scene as her office building was targeted.
