Airstrike targets residential high-rise building in Gaza, claimed by Israel

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has resulted in a devastating toll on civilians. According to local health officials, more than 63,000 Palestinians have reportedly died as a result of the conflict, with the majority being civilians.

The conflict began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas gunmen launched an attack on southern Israel, resulting in the death of around 1,200 people, mostly civilians. Since then, the conflict has caused extensive damage to infrastructure in Gaza, leaving much of the region in ruins.

One of the most tragic incidents occurred on September 14, 2023, when an Israeli airstrike targeted the Muhanna multi-storey building in Gaza City. The building was serving as a shelter for displaced families in Gaza, according to Palestinians. At least 40 people were killed by Israeli fire, according to Gaza health authorities, with at least 28 of the deaths occurring in Gaza City.

Israel claimed that the building was being used by Hamas, but no public details have been released as to who specifically ordered the attack on the Muhanna building. Such decisions are typically made at a high level, often involving the Israeli government, the Ministry of Defence, and military leadership. In the past, such actions have been ordered by the Israeli government or military leadership to achieve strategic or security goals.

For specific information about this incident, it is advisable to consult current news sources or official statements from Israeli authorities. It is also worth noting that at least 251 hostages were taken into Gaza by Hamas as of October 7, 2023.

The conflict has resulted in widespread destruction in Gaza and a large number of civilian fatalities. The international community has called for an end to the violence and a return to peace negotiations. The United Nations and various humanitarian organisations are working to provide aid and support to those affected by the conflict.

The conflict in Gaza is a complex and sensitive issue, and it is important to stay informed and be aware of the latest developments. It is also crucial to remember the human cost of the conflict and to call for a peaceful resolution that prioritises the safety and well-being of civilians.
