(AP) — An Israeli airstrike has flattened a high-rise building in central Gaza City.

The 14-story Palestine Tower is home to dozens of families. But it also held offices connected to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups.

Israel gave inhabitants a 10-minute warning before it destroyed the building, which was evacuated. There were no injuries.

Abu Obeida, the spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, promised a harsh response.

“Tel Aviv must stand on one foot and wait for our earth-shattering response,” he said.

In past rounds of fighting, Israel has destroyed Gaza high-rises, claiming they were used by militants, but destroying offices and leaving scores of people homeless. That included the building that housed The Associated Press bureau in a 2021 war
