For the sixth day, the Israeli occupation continues its policy of targeting the towers and homes of the residents in the Gaza Strip, while the resistance responded by bombing the Israeli depths, killing and wounding dozens of people. Hamas also considered Tel Aviv to be the main target of its missiles.
And the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the total number of victims of the Israeli aggression during the 6 days of the escalation in Gaza reached 145 martyrs, including 23 women, in addition to 1100 injuries.
The ministry added that the northern and eastern areas of the Gaza Strip witnessed the displacement of entire families, considering that the high number of displaced persons due to the occupation attacks represents a great challenge.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera, the Palestinian Minister of Health told Al-Jazeera, "The international community must stop Israel's violations, especially against the health sector."
In the evening, Al-Jazeera correspondent reported that residents of Mushtaha Tower (Cairo) adjacent to the Finance Ministry building in Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood, south of Gaza City, had received warnings from the Israeli occupation army to evacuate it in preparation for bombing it, and then activists circulated pictures of the tower being bombed.
In the same context, Al-Jazeera correspondent stated that residents of Al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City received calls from the occupation forces asking them to evacuate their homes.
The Israeli army announced the targeting of the house of Raed Saad, the commander of the Special Operations headquarters in Hamas, and said that it was used as a military structure.
Al-Jazeera correspondent stated that Israeli raids targeted a sports facility in the center of Gaza City and a water desalination plant in the north of the city, as well as the home of the Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya, east of the city.
The correspondent added that a Palestinian was killed this evening as a result of an Israeli raid that targeted a car in Al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City, and that another raid targeted a house in the Sheikh Ajlin area, west of Gaza.
The Israeli army also announced that a drone that was on its way to Israel from Gaza was shot down, and two of its operators were killed.
Meanwhile, the Al-Jazeera correspondent said that the Israeli army's artillery had renewed its shelling of agricultural lands with rocket-propelled grenades in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Israeli Channel 13 reported this evening that ministers in the security cabinet called on their government to end the fighting in Gaza, and said that the bank of targets had ended.
This came hours after Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz held a meeting with the leaders of the local authorities in the environs of Gaza, where he asked them to prepare for the continuation of the war for other days.
Evacuation Tower
Earlier today, the occupation warplanes destroyed the Al-Galaa Tower, which includes the headquarters of the Al-Jazeera network in Gaza and other media outlets such as the American Associated Press, as well as 60 apartments and offices for lawyers and doctors.
Al-Jazeera Media Network issued a statement confirming that the Israeli army gave the residents of Burj Al-Galaa only a very short time to evacuate the place before bombing it, considering that "what Israel has done is a barbaric act aimed at the safety of our journalists and preventing them from revealing the truth."
The network also held the Israeli government fully responsible, and said, "We will continue taking legal measures."
After the tower was destroyed, Abu Ubaidah, a spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades - the military arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) - said that "the residents of Tel Aviv and the center should stand on one foot and wait for our earthquake response." Its price is dear, as he continues his aggression and demolition of civilian buildings and towers. "
The occupation warplanes also committed a massacre today in Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, when they bombed a 3-storey house with several missiles, causing the fall of 10 martyrs, 8 children and 2 women.

Hamas threatens
A Hamas spokesman said, "Tel Aviv, the capital of the Israeli political decision, has become an arena for the battle with the enemy and the main target for Qassam rockets."
He added that the movement will continue the battle with all strength and solidity, and that it will not back down from achieving the aspirations of the Palestinian people, stressing that it has more strength, tools and innovations that will shock the enemy and confuse his calculations, according to his description.
A Hamas spokesman considered that "the open fronts and the strong and accurate strikes of the resistance had put the enemy in trouble and formed a major crisis for him."
Al-Qassam Brigades said that "the bombing of Herzl Street (in Tel Aviv) on the anniversary of the Nakba carries a strong message and a blow to the enemy, its entity and its sovereignty."
Al-Jazeera camera monitored the situation in central Tel Aviv after rockets were dropped from the Gaza Strip on the city, where the streets seemed almost empty, after the Israeli army announced that Tel Aviv residents must enter the shelters and stay in them until further notice.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) published a video clip showing a mass escape from the Tel Aviv beach, after sirens sounded as a result of rockets fired from Gaza.
