Al Jazeera’s team was reporting live when the Palestine Tower right behind them was struck by an Israeli air strike.

Israeli air raids on the besieged Gaza Strip have flattened a tower in the heart of Gaza City as large-scale fighting between Palestinian fighters and the Israeli military claimed the lives of hundreds of people.

The attack on Palestine Tower on Saturday came hours after Hamas, the group running the besieged Gaza Strip, launched a multi-pronged attack by firing thousands of rockets and sending fighters inside Israel.

The hit was caught live on camera as Al Jazeera’s Youmna ElSayed was reporting from another building nearby.
