Israel Airstrikes Destroy Associated Press and Al Jazeera Bureaus in Gaza
Anyone know what planes they were flying? I'm guessing F-16 or maybe their new F-35s.

Israel’s air force on Saturday attacked a tower block in Gaza housing the offices of the Associated Press (AP), Al Jazeera and the Middle East Eye.
The airstrikes came six days into renewed conflict between Israel and Hamas. They took place roughly an hour after Israeli military ordered an evacuation of the Al-Jalaa tower building, which housed the outlets’ bureaus as well as residential apartments.
AP reports that three heavy missiles hit the 12-story building, which collapsed. Military phoned in a warning an hour ahead of time, notifying tenants that the strike was imminent. Video published by independent news outlet Middle East Eye, which also held offices in the building, shows Al-Jalaa owner Abu Husam pleading with Israeli officials over the phone to allow journalists to return to the building to collect some gear before the airstrikes. The request was denied.
