Defense Minister Israel Katz shared a video on his Twitter page showing the building being destroyed, along with the caption, "We will continue."

The military operation in Gaza has intensified, claiming that the Suzi Tower was used by Hamas, a claim the group denies.

It is not yet known how many people were injured when the building was demolished.

Before the attack on Saturday, Israel distributed leaflets warning civilians to move to the southern part of the city, calling for a humanitarian zone.

In a post shared on social media, the Israeli army posted a message in Arabic to the Al-Mawasi area, between Khan Yunis and the coast, saying, "Join the thousands who have already left."

The Israeli army has repeatedly sent messages urging civilians to leave the area.

It said it would provide medical care, water, and food to those who did.
