"Government Media Office": Occupation's bombing of the foundations of "Saada Building" caused its collapse
The Government Media Office in Gaza holds the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the collapse of the "Saada Building," confirming that an Israeli airstrike targeting its foundations on October 9, 2023, was the direct cause of its collapse, denying the occupation's claims that it was not targeted.
The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip confirmed on Sunday that the collapse of the "Saada Building" in Gaza City, which resulted in the deaths of over 21 citizens and injuries to dozens more, was caused by a direct Israeli airstrike that targeted the building's foundations on October 9, 2023. The office stated in a statement that the bombing focused on the building's foundations and its first and second floors, causing significant structural damage. The office denied the occupation's claims that the building was not targeted, considering the denial part of a systematic policy of misinformation. It held the occupation fully responsible for the incident, viewing it as part of a systematic policy of destroying infrastructure and civilian property, in violation of international law. It warned of the risk of dozens of cracked residential buildings collapsing in Gaza and called on the international community to document the crime and prosecute Israeli officials.
