The Israeli Air Force (IAF) has said it demolished the building housing the Associated Press (AP), Al Jazeera, and other media firms in Gaza because the Hamas terror organisation uses it as a human shield.
IAF said in a statement on Sunday the Hamas deliberately places military targets at the heart of densely populated civilian areas in the Gaza Strip.
IAF said before the strikes were launched, it warned civilians in the building in advance to evacuate the building and allowed sufficient time for them to leave the site.
The statement read: “A short while ago, IAF fighter jets struck a multi-story building which contained military assets belonging to the intelligence offices of the Hamas terror organization.
“The building contained civilian media offices, which the Hamas terror organization hides behind and uses as human shields. The Hamas terror organization deliberately places military targets at the heart of densely populated civilian areas in the Gaza Strip.
