The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck a high-rise building used as a Hamas command center in Gaza City earlier today, September 10th, 2025, according to an IDF Online X post. The building housed intelligence gathering and observation posts targeting IDF forces. Steps were taken to minimize civilian casualties, including population warnings, precise armaments, and aerial observation, the post stated. The IDF reported that terrorist organizations in Gaza systematically violate international law by using civilian institutions for military purposes. The IDF reiterated its commitment to operating with intensity against terrorist organizations in the Strip. This follows an IDF evacuation warning issued between 7:30 AM and 8:01 AM UTC for civilians in the vicinity of a high-rise building in Gaza City, instructing them to move to a designated humanitarian zone in the south. Previous reports from this morning confirm the IDF struck a high-rise building in Gaza City after issuing an evacuation warning. IDF Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee stated the building was targeted due to the presence of Hamas terror infrastructure. Footage posted to X by user Osint613 showed the building being struck and leveled. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also commented today on the situation in Gaza, stating that "man-made famine can never be a weapon of war" and that "What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world."
