High-Rise Building Collapses in Gaza Following Israeli Strikes

A residential and commercial tower in central Gaza City collapsed after being hit by multiple airstrikes on May 12, as Israeli aircraft targeted a number of high-rises.

This footage by Mohammed Al-Madhoun captures the moment munitions strike the Al Shorouq tower, causing it to collapse.

The Al Shorouq tower, located in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City, housed multiple apartments as well as many media offices, including the Hamas-affiliated Al Aqsa TV, according to reports.

Violence continued into the weekend, with militants in Gaza firing rockets into Israel and Israeli warplanes carrying out strikes.

Palestinian health officials in Gaza said 145 people, including 41 children, had been killed and 1,100 people wounded. At least 10 people have been killed in Israel, according to media reports. Credit: Mohammed Al-Madhoun via Storyful
