The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it carried out an airstrike on the Taybeh 2 tower in Gaza City, claiming the high-rise building was being used by Hamas for intelligence gathering and surveillance of Israeli troops.

According to the IDF, the strike was part of its broader military operations aimed at disrupting Hamas’ capabilities and limiting its ability to coordinate attacks. The Taybeh 2 tower was said to play a role in monitoring Israeli movements, making it a strategic target in the ongoing conflict.

The airstrike comes amid escalating hostilities in the region, with both sides exchanging attacks as international concern over civilian safety continues to grow. While Israel has emphasized the military importance of the strike, the destruction of high-rise buildings in Gaza has once again drawn attention to the wider humanitarian impact of the conflict.
