Israel delivers strikes on highrises in Gaza Strip

Israeli troops began to carry out pre-announced strikes on high-rise buildings in the Gaza Strip, the army press service said.

Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces announced that it will "carry out precise, targeted strikes against terrorist infrastructure that poses a direct threat to IDF troops.

Prior to the strikes, numerous measures will be taken to minimize the risk of harming civilians as much as possible, including targeted warnings, the use of precision munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence."

"A short while ago, the IDF struck a high-rise building that was being used by the Hamas terrorist organization in the area of Gaza City. Within the building, Hamas established infrastructure that was used to advance and execute attacks against IDF troops in the area," the statement reads.

"Prior to the strike, precautionary measures were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians, including advanced warnings to the population, the use of precise munitions, aerial surveillance, and additional intelligence," the army press service assured.
