"The Israeli army has bombed another high-rise in Gaza City after telling Palestinian residents to evacuate or face being killed amid its ongoing siege and imposed mass starvation in the enclave. The Israeli military designated more high-rise towers as targets in a map released on Saturday. Shortly after releasing the map, it bombed the 15-storey Soussi Tower, which is located opposite a building belonging to the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood."
"These attacks are causing panic amongst the people, especially considering the time they are given to evacuate. Half an hour or an hour is not enough time for people to escape from these buildings, Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud said, reporting from Gaza City. The Israeli military said in a statement, without offering evidence, that the buildings struck were used by Hamas to gather intelligence to monitor the locations of the Israeli army."
"Gaza's Government Media Office rejected the claims and called them part of a systematic policy of deception used by the occupation to justify the targeting of civilians and infrastructure and forcibly displace Palestinians from their homes. It said 90 percent of Gaza's infrastructure has been destroyed by Israel. The targeted buildings were near the 12-storey Mushtaha Tower, which on Friday was similarly bombed and razed to the ground, as Israel moves to seize Gaza City despite international criticism."
Israeli forces have bombed multiple high-rise towers in Gaza City after ordering Palestinian residents to evacuate on short notice and released a map designating additional towers as targets. The 15-storey Soussi Tower, located opposite a UNRWA building in Tal al-Hawa, was struck shortly after the map's release. The Israeli military claimed the buildings were used by Hamas for intelligence and that explosives and tunnels were present; Gaza's Government Media Office rejected those claims and said 90 percent of Gaza's infrastructure has been destroyed. Rapid evacuation warnings have caused panic and insufficient escape time, and at least 68 Palestinians were killed and 362 wounded over the past day.
