An Israeli attack has destroyed a residential building in the Al-Rimal neighbourhood of Gaza City, sending flames and smoke into the air above the district, according to Al Jazeera. The strike lands as the US-brokered ceasefire reaches the one year mark, with Palestinians still facing Israeli bombardment.
The building stood in Al-Rimal, a neighbourhood in the heart of Gaza City, when the attack reduced it to rubble. Footage of the scene showed fire and plumes of smoke rising from the site after the strike.
Al Jazeera reported the destruction as the truce brokered by the United States passed its first anniversary. According to the outlet, the ceasefire has not ended the bombardment that Palestinians in the territory continue to endure.
The report did not include details on casualties or on how many people were inside the building at the time of the attack.
The strike is the latest recorded in Gaza City since the ceasefire arrangement took effect, with residents of the Al-Rimal area once again witnessing a residential structure destroyed.
The attack on the Al-Rimal building adds to a year of continued strikes in Gaza despite the US-brokered ceasefire, a gap between the terms of the truce and conditions on the ground that the report highlights.
