Israeli aircraft fires ‘warning missile’ at Hamas-linked TV station

Israeli aircraft fired “a warning missile” at the Al-Aqsa TV building in Gaza City, several Palestinian media outlets report.

This type of action is typically known as a “knock on the roof.” It is designed to let the building’s occupants know that an impending strike is incoming in order to give them time to escape.

As of 9:10 p.m., the Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV was not broadcasting video footage or programs; it was instead streaming an image of the Dome of the Rock.
