We’re continuing to verify footage emerging from Gaza City over the weekend after the Israeli air force destroyed more tower blocks and other buildings.
Yesterday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) gave four evacuation notices for prominent high-rise buildings. All four were later destroyed and we have verified the footage.
An separate evacuation notice was issued on Saturday and that building was flattened the same day.
The picture below is from a video showing the moment one of the buildings, Al-Kawthar Tower, was bombed.
The IDF has been targeting tall buildings across Gaza City for more than a week now, but it’s not just the multi-storeys highlighted on social media being hit.
Many of the videos we’ve verified show the destruction of other buildings, as well as vehicles.
On Friday the IDF said its airstrikes had targeted “over 500 objectives”, external in Gaza City.
It said it was destroying “towers converted into military infrastructure” as well as “reconnaissance and sniper positions, buildings containing operational tunnel openings, weapons warehouses, and other terrorist infrastructure”.
It did not provide any evidence to support these claims.
Meanwhile, thousands of displaced people are leaving Gaza and heading south, where new encampments are being set up.
We’ll bring you more on all of this throughout the day, and we’ll continue to monitor for new developments.
