STORYLINE:
A large plume of smoke was seen rising over the Gaza Strip from southern Israel on Friday.
Israel struck a high-rise building in Gaza City earlier Friday after warning residents to evacuate, as the military stepped up operations aimed at seizing control of the city of some 1 million Palestinians.
The military accused Hamas militants of using other high-rises in the city for surveillance and planned ambushes, and said it would carry out “precise, targeted strikes” on militant infrastructure in the coming days.
Israel begun mobilizing tens of thousands of reservists and repeating evacuation warnings as part of its plan to widen its offensive, which has sparked opposition domestically and condemnation abroad.
Palestinians said Friday’s strike targeted the Mushtaha tower in Rimal, an upscale neighborhood before the war.
It was not immediately clear if anyone was wounded or killed in the strike.
Israel said it struck the building because it was used by Hamas for surveillance.
Photos of the building taken before Friday’s strike showed that its roof was already heavily damaged from earlier raids.
