Israeli airstrikes have levelled a seven-floor office building and severely damaged a two-storey commercial building with dozens of shops, Gaza police say.

Israel has resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip, ending a self-declared, seven-hour ceasefire that was in effect for much of the day.

An Israeli air strike killed a militant leader in the Gaza Strip today, just hours ahead of a seven-hour truce announced by Israel which was meant to open a “humanitarian window” for aid.
