‘Give us 10 minutes’: How Israel bombed a Gaza media tower
Al JazeeraAn Israeli air raid flattened a building housing residential apartments and the offices of news organisations, including Al Jazeera and AP, in Gaza. “No one is allowed to enter the building, we already gave you an hour to evacuate.” When the request was rejected, Mahdi said: “You have destroyed our life’s work, memories, life. “Just vanished.” BREAKING: Israeli air raid flattens building that houses Al Jazeera and other international media outlets in Gaza City. “In 2019, we moved the company to al-Jalaa building because we thought it would be safer, since it accommodated the offices of international media agencies.” “Now both have been destroyed,” he said. ‘No place is safe in Gaza’ The bombing of al-Jalaa, widely condemned as an attempt to “silence” journalists covering Israel’s offensive, came just hours after an Israeli air raid at Shati refugee camp killed 10 members of the same family – eight children, two women – celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the religious festival marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
