The Israeli Air Force destroyed the 12-storey building, which housed the Associated Press and Al-Jazeera offices, on 15 May during Operation ‘Guardian of the Walls' against Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

“The site was used by the Hamas terror organisation for intelligence research and development [R&D], and to carry out SIGINT [signals intelligence], ELINT [electronic intelligence], and EW operations targeting both IDF operational activity and civilian systems in Israel. One of the main goals of these efforts was to develop a system that would disrupt the Iron Dome aerial defence system,” the IDF said in a statement.
