Netanyahu praises bombing of Gaza tower housing media outlets

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has shared a video showing the bombing of a building in Gaza known to house international news outlets, lauding the air raid as a successful attack on “terrorist organisations”.

“I say to the leaders of terrorism: you cannot hide. Not above ground and not below ground. No one is immune. We are collapsing the terrorist towers. These are towers that serve as headquarters and offices for terrorist organisations,” he wrote in the caption that accompanied the tweet.

“This operation will continue as long as it takes until we achieve our goals and bring peace and security to all Israeli citizens,” he added.

Journalists said they were given only a one-hour notice by the Israeli army to evacuate the al-Jalaa tower in Gaza City, before it was destroyed in an air strike.
