Watch: Israel Demolishes Hamas Parliament Building
At the start of the week, IDF troops had photographed themselves inside the building and room which serves as “Hamas parliament”. On Wednesday Israeli media confirmed the entire building has been demolished, in what appears a symbolic act wherein Israel is showing the world the terror group is ‘finished’ in the Gaza Strip.
“After troops photographed themselves inside Hamas’s parliament building in Gaza City several days ago, the military has demolished the site,” Times of Israel (TOI) writes. “The building was captured by the 7th Armored Brigade and Golani Infantry Brigade.” The below video of the demolition is widely circulating and was featured by TOI:
