JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli airstrike has flattened a high-rise building in central Gaza City.

The 14-story Palestine Tower is home to dozens of families. But it also held offices connected to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups.

Israel gave inhabitants a 10-minute warning before it destroyed the building, which was evacuated. There were no injuries.

Abu Obeida, the spokesman for Hamas’ military wing, promised a harsh response.

“Tel Aviv must stand on one foot and wait for our earth-shattering response,” he said.

They’ve got enough hostages to use them as human shields at their military and political sites

“...a massive show of force that caught Israel off-guard on a major holiday. (Oct. 7)”

Now that gets me thinking that the US may have played a role in this, given how hard the Neocons want to get rid of Netanyahu. Not saying that was the case, but considering that the Neocons clearly ignited the Ukraine War, neither it that beyond what they’ll do to achieve an objective.

Well, a demolition of a thousand streets begins with a single building. Hopefully it will finish the job this time

Agreed. No more warnings. Their warning was when they attacked Israel. That’s more than enough.

Surprise nuclear strikes eliminating the Iranian military and regime, followed by mass driving out of the entire Arab population from Israel. This would have to be followed by nuclear annihilation of responding Arab military forces, under a NATO nuclear retaliation umbrella against Russia and China.

There’s the only practical solution. Otherwise, buckle up.

I see the “United Nothing” is calling on Israel for peace, of course they wouldn’t dare say anything about their dear Palis’s.

Yet you can blame Georgie Bush for pressuring Israel to vacate Gaza. If I had known then what I know now, there is no way I would have voted for that dip shit.

“Tel Aviv must stand on one foot and wait for our earth-shattering response,”

This is the sort of nonsensical rhetoric that makes one question the Palestinian educational system.

Stand on one foot and wait for our earth shattering response???

Why should they not stand on their heads and wait for it??? Or do a handstand and wait for it???

The Israeli's are far too kind to these halfwits... Actually warning the enemy that they'll be bombed... That practice should be abandoned and then they should show these uneducated terrorist the true rath and force of Israel's superior might, and demonstrate what the term 'earth shattering' truly means.

The Romans knew how to handle an enemy. Anyone hear about any trouble out of Carthage, lately?

Were the Israeli civilians given a 10-minute warning before the insurgents attacked them in their cars, homes and in the street?

Stop warning them. Kill every last one of them.

Nits make lice

Crazy Talk—Evil only begets evil. Now is not the time for such words. We stand before the greatest war in all human history and such talk (that smacks of overt racism) only enflames the dark soul of man. Such thought lead only to mass death, by the sword, machine gun or gas chambers.

I think Putin is not a factor - has his own war in Ukraine right now.

“Stop warning them. Kill every last one of them.”

While I agree with you, Israel has always had to walk a fine line when dealing with the fakestinians. By tonight the media in the entire Western World will have video of dead fakestinian “civilians” running every thirty minutes. Then the governments will call on Israel to stop or face consequences.
Israel has to defend itself with one hand tied behind their back and a eye for the prevailing world opinions.
It has ever been so for poor Israel.
