The Israeli army on Saturday attacked a building in the Gaza Strip housing the offices of the Al Jazeera television network and the Associated Press (AP) news agency. According to the AP, Israeli military authorities ordered the evacuation of the building an hour before the attack. Other sources say they had just 10 minutes to clear it.
The reason for clearing the building was, according to Israel, that there were terrorists and weapons in the building. All this was claimed without any evidence. Now, with the site reduced to pebbles, they no longer need to provide it.
Al Yalá Tower ended up as a pile of rubble.

At least 197 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Israeli bombardment began, 58 of them children. By now there must be a few more...
