Videos show collapse of Al Shorouk tower in Gaza city

Videos from multiple angles show the collapse of the 16-story Al Shorouk tower in the Al-Rimal area, west of Gaza City. 

The building in Gaza, which houses local and foreign media outlets as well as shops and apartments, was previously hit by a missile strike during the 2014 Gaza War.

Images shared on Wednesday show at least the partial collapse of the structure, followed by a plume of black smoke and the sound of Israeli warplanes flying overhead.

Middle East Eye's correspondent in Gaza said an Israeli F-16 warplane fired nine missiles towards the building.
