Gaza: Israel has bombed the Palestinian Foreign Ministry building in Gaza City, causing part of the building to collapse.
The air strike was confirmed by an Israeli spokesman who said it carried out the attack because it is "led by Hamas".
Palestinian officials said that no one was hurt in the raid.
A separate air strike on Thursday morning near Deir Al Balah in the central Gaza Strip, killed an Islamic Jihad militant and wounded another gunman, the officials added.
Israel killed at least 24 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, including nine members of one family in an air strike that destroyed a house where the army said senior Hamas commanders were meeting.
