Military strikes another Gaza City high-rise after evacuation warnings

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

The Israeli Air Force bombed a high-rise building in Gaza City a short while ago that the IDF says was used by Hamas, after issuing several warnings for civilians to leave the area ahead of a planned strike.

According to the military, Hamas “installed intelligence gathering means” at the al-Ru’ya building and “positioned observation posts to monitor the location of IDF troops in the area.”

The IDF says Hamas operatives also planted many explosive devices near the building as part of preparations for the military’s offensive in Gaza City.

Before the strike, the IDF issued two evacuation warnings.
