Israeli airstrike hits Gaza City apartment tower
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Palestinian police say Israeli warplanes have fired two missiles at an apartment tower in central Gaza City, sending a huge ball of fire and a black cloud of smoke into the air.
The force of the blast shook neighboring buildings.
Ashraf al-Kidra, a Gaza health official in the Hamas-run Palestinian enclave, says at least 10 people, including four children, were wounded in the strike.
Police say a warning missile hit the roof of the 12-story building about five minutes before the airstrike. The building has 48 apartments.
A video posted online from Channel 2 shows the collapse of the tower.
