Air strike

On the morning of Tuesday, October 10, 2023, airstrikes carried out by Israel targeted the Hajji Tower on Institutions Street in the Gaza Governorate, resulting in its complete destruction.

Hisham al-Nawajha sustained severe injuries and was admitted to the intensive care unit at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, with his eventual demise being confirmed later.[5] Journalists near the site of the airstrike stated that a nearby building had recently been roof-tapped and evacuated in preparation of an imminent airstrike, but the strike hit another building closer to the journalists.[6] Mohamed Jarghoun, a photographer for Smart Media, was killed as well.[7]
