Israel blows up tower block 'used by Hamas terrorists' in strike on city

Israel blows up tower block 'used by Hamas terrorists' in strike on city. Israel's defence minister says it is 'opening up the gates of Hell' in Gaza. The high-rise in Gaza City was destroyed after the army said it would target tall buildings taken over by Hamas ahead of its planned push into the city. Despite growing pressure at home and abroad to stop its nearly two-year offensive, Israel has been calling up reinforcements, increasing airstrikes and closing in on Gaza City since announcing it plans to capture the territory's largest urban area.
