The IDF says it struck a high-rise building in Gaza City a short while ago that was being used by Hamas for intelligence gathering and operational purposes.

According to the military, Hamas operatives had installed surveillance equipment and observation posts in the building to track IDF movements and had planted numerous explosive devices nearby to target Israeli troops. The IDF also says the group maintained underground infrastructure adjacent to the site, used to direct terror activity.

The army stresses that precautionary measures were taken ahead of the strike to minimize civilian harm, including issuing evacuation warnings, using precision munitions, and conducting aerial surveillance.

The strike comes a day after the IDF destroyed another high-rise in Gaza City, which it also said was being used by Hamas as terror infrastructure.
