GAZA CITY – The Israeli military has demolished another high-rise building in Gaza, the second such strike in as many days, as its campaign in the enclave intensifies.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Saturday’s target, the Sussi Tower, was being used by Hamas, a claim the group denies. Video posted by Defence Minister Israel Katz on X showed the tower collapsing with the caption: “We’re continuing.”

It remains unclear if there were casualties. Before the strike, Israel dropped leaflets urging residents to move south to what it calls a “humanitarian zone.” But the United Nations has warned that tent camps in al-Mawasi are overcrowded and unsafe, while hospitals in the south are overwhelmed.

Tensions remain high following the deaths of five children on Tuesday, reportedly killed by an Israeli drone while waiting for water in al-Mawasi. The IDF has said the incident is under review.

Friday’s strike on the Mushtaha Tower in Gaza City’s al-Rimal neighbourhood also brought down another major residential block.

According to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, at least 63,746 people have been killed since the war began, while 367 have died from malnutrition and starvation.

The back-to-back destruction of Gaza’s high-rises underscores the deepening humanitarian crisis and the growing civilian cost of Israel’s military campaign.
