The Israeli military hit two residential buildings in the Gaza Strip in fresh air raids against civilian targets on Sunday morning, a day after Palestinian fighters launched a surprise offensive against the regime.
Several Palestinian news outlets reported that Israeli warplanes bombed the Watan Tower in Gaza City, and also hit the eleven-story al-Aklouk.

There were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties.
The reports also said the bombs struck the Matar residential building.
The developments came only a few hours after Israeli air raids on the blockaded Gaza Strip flattened Palestine Tower in the heart of Gaza City.
The Gaza-based al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas resistance movement, announced it renewed rocket fire towards the 1948 Israeli-occupied territories on Sunday morning.
Israel has a track record of conducting hits on residential buildings and towers located within the Gaza Strip, one of the world’s most densely populated areas.
Similar Israeli air strikes on residential towers in the past have provoked heavy responses from Palestinians, who warn Israel to avoid targeting civilian buildings.
Operation Al-Aqsa Storm is the biggest to be carried out by Palestinian resistance groups against the occupying regime in years. Resistance fighters crossed the fence into Israeli-occupied cities, with hundreds of rockets being fired from the Gaza Strip.
On Sunday, Hamas announced the number of Israelis taken captive in the ongoing operation is far more than “dozens” that was claimed by Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
‘Al-Aqsa Storm aims to liberate Palestinian lands, holy sites’
The deputy head of the Hamas movement, Saleh al-Arouri, says the primary goal of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, is to liberate the occupied Palestinian lands and holy sites, stressing that the battle will be escalating until its aim is achieved.
Arouri said that the operation is not a hit-and-run one, but rather an all-out battle.
Palestinians will not stand idle while the occupying Israeli regime attacks the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and desecrates the holy sites, he added.
“Al-Qassam Brigades captured enough Israeli soldiers during an unprecedented attack against Israel to make Israeli authorities free all Palestinian prisoners in its jails,” he said, noting that senior Israeli officers were among those captured.
Arouri said that the fighting front is expected to expand, adding that Palestinian resistance fighters are ready for worst-case scenarios including Israeli ground invasion.
He urged Palestinians all over the occupied territories to engage in the battle, calling on Arab and Muslim countries to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance front.
‘Palestinian fighters united in Operation Aqsa Storm’
Spokesman for the al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement, Abu Hamza, also said his comrade resistance fighters are also engaged in Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.
“Palestinian resistance fighters in the al-Quds Brigades also managed to capture Israeli soldiers,” he said, adding that they are united with al-Qassam Brigades until the full liberation of Palestinian lands and holy sites.
Abu Hamza added that the battle will continue and that resistance is the only way to liberate Palestinian lands and holy sites.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that hospital officials in the Strip have recorded the death of 232 civilians and injury of nearly 1,700 others as a result of Israeli bombardment across the Gaza Strip.
A large number of buildings, homes, and public facilities have also been seriously damaged due to the bombardments.
there is talk here of palestinian civilian areas
palestine has no army no soldiers
they are all civilans
but they need our help
in my town christians and muslims alike shook hands
and car hooters could be heard into the night
in this small UK town
In the USA support for israel has hit rock bottom
jews in some areas are very afraid as they may have to pay for israeli crimes
I think the captured israelis should be executed
We have one dirty jew hostage here
but what do do with him ?
some say kill him
some say strip him naked and hand him over to homosexuals
hey dirty jews, if you want Carl Jones back it will cost you
Israel allowed it or made it happen .. to further their goals? Hamas has no army to speak of or follow up on this action ..
The jews are always shouting compensation for their sufering
now is the time they should pay for the suffering caused to families in palestine
and all move back to new york
Keep fighting for your god, morons, you’ll “win” in the “end”
Amazing ! Just when NATO that’s the North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation needs an incident to redirect the sheeples minds from their humiliating defeat in Ukraine along comes a serious flare up in the middle east to do just that.
Its all an Israeli staged psyop or false flag strike, where Israelis ‘attacked’ their own base & then blame it on their black op terror groups i.e., hamas/isis/alqaeda. It serves three basic purposes: 1) generates pity/sympathy for the ‘vulnerable persecuted jews’ from the christian cretins 2) a pretext to justify further Israeli attacks/murders/invasions of arab/muslim territory & 3) keeps the white morons of the world more concerned about a meaningless mongrel Semitic conflict, than in the liberation of their own race/people from the Jewish-Christian-Muslim oppressors/occupiers of their own nations. Now you know.
Hamas , give them israeli prisoners same dirt
water to drink you have to “enjoy” since years !
god bles hamas
thankyou god
A lot of young Israeli soldiers are abandoning their ranks so how can we bring them back ? create a new threat.
I generally don’t read b-movie scripts, and especially single scenes without the full plot outline.
Even though I know the outline is this, Mossad obviously knows what the “enemies” are doing down to every square foot of rocket movement.
It’s a poorly-written script, along the lines of Putin pretending he’s some kinda “outsider”.
Rather watch an Ed Wood movie or even better, something by Coleman Francis, much more sensible and entertaining.
The comments here are giving me hope for humanity.
I’ve been increasingly alarmed at the “Back Israel At All Costs” rhetoric they’ve ramped up in the last few years, as Israel has murdered without remorse the Palestinian populace, focusing on the most defenseless first.
I doubt the veracity of anything coming out of the mainstream media, who are frothing at this as if they are integral to its inception.
Hmm…
We all know how much the Jews LOVE BLOWING THINGS UP, don’t we ? Like food processing plants, railway cars full of toxic chemicals, whole buildings and high rises, gas pipelines. Yup, bombs are a Jew’s best friend.
ALL PLANNED, ALL PRE-APPROVED.
Let WW3 begin.
The whole world must suffer for Jewish greed.
