An Israeli airstrike destroyed a high-rise building in Gaza City that housed offices of some international and local media offices as well s residential apartments as the escalation continues in the occupied territories.

The strike came hours after Israeli jets targeted the al-Shati refugee camp in Western Gaza, killing 10 Palestinians, all of them women and children. Hamas said the attack is indicative of the Israeli regime’s helplessness in the face of Palestinians’ resilience.

Israel has ramped up its military aggression to include artillery and tank fire. The escalation has fed fears of a return to a long term war between Israeli regime and Palestinian groups. Israeli warplanes struck multiple targets in Gaza overnight while Palestinian resistance in response, fired rockets into occupied lands by Israel.

Observers here say that the main victims of these inhuman attacks against the Gaza Strip are civilians. Palestinians call on the international community to hold Israel accountable for this violation of the international law.
