The Israel Defense Forces says it struck two high-rise towers in the Gaza Strip containing Hamas assets.
One of the buildings, the Hamas-owned National Islamic Bank, was struck by Israeli fighter jets, the IDF says.
The IDF says it also demolished a war room used by a senior Hamas member, Muntasir Frej.
Strikes are continuing in the Gaza Strip at this hour, the IDF adds.
