GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike has destroyed a high-rise building that housed The Associated Press' offices in the Gaza Strip.

The airstrike Saturday came roughly an hour after the Israeli military ordered people to evacuate the building. There was no immediate explanation for why the building was targeted.

The building houses The Associated Press, Al-Jazeera and a number of offices and apartments.

The latest outburst of violence began in Jerusalem and has spread across the region, with Jewish-Arab clashes and rioting in mixed cities of Israel. There were also widespread Palestinian protests Friday in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces shot and killed 11 people.

Since Monday night, Hamas has fired hundreds of rockets into Israel, which has pounded the Gaza Strip with strikes. In Gaza, at least 139 people have been killed, including 39 children and 22 women; in Israel, seven people have been killed, including a 5-year-old boy and a soldier.

Early Saturday, an airstrike hit a three-story house in Gaza City's Shati refugee camp, killing eight children and two women from an extended family.

Mohammed Hadidi told reporters his wife and five children had gone to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr holiday with relatives. She and three of the children, aged 6 to 14, were killed, while an 11-year-old is missing. Only his 5-month-old son Omar is known to have survived.

"There was no warning," said Jamal Al-Naji, a neighbor living in the same building. "You filmed people eating and then you bombed them?" he said, addressing Israel. "Why are you confronting us? Go and confront the strong people!"

The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Hamas said it fired a salvo of rockets at southern Israel in response to the airstrike.

Later on Saturday, the military notified the building owner that it was about to strike the high-rise in Gaza City where The Associated Press and other media outlets, including Al Jazeera, have their offices. Residents of the building, including AP staff, evacuated. The army told the AP that staff should evacuate immediately.

A furious Israeli barrage early Friday killed a family of six in their house and sent thousands fleeing to U.N.-run shelters. The military said the operation involved 160 warplanes dropping some 80 tons of explosives over the course of 40 minutes and succeeded in destroying a vast tunnel network used by Hamas.

Israeli media said the military believed dozens of militants were killed inside the tunnels. The Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups have confirmed 20 deaths in their ranks, but the military said the real number is far higher.

Gaza's infrastructure, already in widespread disrepair because of an Israeli-Egyptian blockade imposed after Hamas seized power in 2007, showed signs of breaking down further, compounding residents' misery. The territory's sole power plant is at risk of running out of fuel in the coming days.

These descendants of David and Goliath have been fighting themselves for more than 4 thousand years

Fire on! Next time, Hamas will think twice before attacking Israel again. No be who first throw punch de beat him opponent. No be who first call police de win case

Everything is time.

A time to be the oppressor and a time to be the oppressed.

In as much as the world revolves, power is transient.

You don't go looking for trouble when you're not prepared. Israel giving it to them real hot.

Evil right activists should caution Hezbollah now that they are playing with rocket into Israel territory

Meanwhile Turkey is waging jihad genocide on christians in Armenian yet no one is talking

They wanted to put an end to the bad belle news the aljazeera group feed the public with

Aljazeera, the NTA of Nigeria

Very soon una buhari go send Nigerian military (southerners) to goan help fight Israel, mark my words.

The truth is this fight has been going on for decade, this shit a 73 year old beef. You look at it from an angel, then u say Israel fired rockets into Gaza,’ then Israel is the bad guy, because they’re bombing Gaza, But then you take a step back in time, and you go, but Hamas fired rockets at Israel.’ Then Hamas is the bad guy. My point is to talk bout this beef you need to be able to measure time.. or how far you want to start it from..

Their problems not mine. Why are people oftentimes surprised when countries like israel, Pakistan, iraq, iran etc are shown in the news About a bomb blast or airstrike??
Abeg Wetin una dey expect read from such news bfr??

Oh Israel....what a merciful country!!

They even had to warn people to evacuate the building. You see why Israel is here to stay.

If it were to be hamas, you think they'll warn anybody?

These guys, I don't wanna mention them but you know them...

They told us that Israel is not a Christian nation as if Israel was ever a Christian nation.

To them, violence is a monopoly

They think they are in Nigeria making noise, intimidating and killing innocent souls in the name of Religion

In Mr Micmic's voice...I don't have time for nonsense.

Death to all terrorist

Rubbish!!!

Israel, the nation blessed by the same God most brainwashed Nigerian religio-zealots worship, is fighting wars for her survival.

But in Nigeria here, one G.O will come out and say 'Let us pray for One Nigeria'... while Fulani herdsmen are in his village, raping wives and slicing farmers' hands.

They will not see how Israel is defiantly guarding her territory now. They wont see it o. Honestly, Nigerians are the worst hypocrites. Using religion as coverup for their cowardice and unintelligence.

This is getting too much. If una like make una kill una selves finish. Na una headaches be that. Continue.
