Israel’s bombing of the Mushtaha Tower was justified with a video explainer issued by the IDF that showed three floors of the building being used by Hamas. The tower building had up to 15 floors. The IDF bombed it with two precision guide bombs and demolished all of the building.
Israel’s attack on the Mushtaha building was executed with the intention to demolish the building. Israel has the capability of shooting precision guided missiles unto specific floors of a building and has used this capability very recently during the 12 Day Israel-Iran War. For example, Israel specifically destroyed two floors of a 15-floor building in the Saadat Abad neighborhood of Tehran.
Israel has also used precision guided weapons at specific apartments during the war in Lebanon last year.
Israel’s intention regarding the north of Gaza is to occupy it and has made this intention public. In order to push out the remaining citizens from Gaza City, Israel is conducting heavy airstrikes and shelling on the last remaining standing buildings. Most of Gaza City has already been flattened or destroyed. The Żejtun neighborhood which hosts the Christian communities has also been completely destroyed.
The management of the Mushtaha Tower denied that the building was used by Hamas and said that it was being used by displaced families. The Al-Shifa hospital reported that it was overwhelmed by patients following the attack. At least seven children were killed by the attack.
