Gaza Building Collapses After Israeli Strikes, Killing Dozens

A building in Gaza that had been damaged by Israeli airstrikes collapsed on September 16, 2026, killing at least 20 Palestinians, including children. The strikes also killed a Hamas commander who had taken Israeli tank soldiers captive, along with other Hamas operatives in Rafah. Israel's defence minister said Israel will "finish the job" in Gaza and remove Palestinians from the territory. The collapse and ongoing strikes mark a further escalation in the conflict.
