Gaza: Palestinian Ministry of Health said Wednesday that three days of Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip left 56 Palestinians dead, including 14 children, five women, and one elderly person, while 335 people were wounded.

Palestinian WAFA news agency said an Israeli warplane fired nine missiles at the 14-story tower in Rimal neighbourhood, west of Gaza City, destroying it in total.

The building houses media centers, commercial offices as well as residences and is considered the second highest building in Gaza, it added.

This is the third high rise to be bombed in the Gaza Strip since Israeli occupation began on Monday its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
