Gaza Building Collapse Kills 14; Israel Denies Involvement
The Israeli military stated that it conducted no operations in the Gaza area where a multi-story residential building collapsed overnight, killing 14 people and leaving approximately 100 missing. According to Kan news, the building was likely severely damaged during recent combat operations and people continued to reside there despite the danger.
The Gaza Civil Defense, a Hamas-affiliated body, reported the collapse occurred in the As-Sinaa neighborhood of Gaza City, where refugees were sheltering. The organization stated that among the casualties were many children. Search and rescue efforts are hampered by the risk of further collapses.
Hamas claims the building collapsed due to an Israeli strike, a claim Israel has denied, asserting no operations were carried out that could have caused the structure to fall.
