16.09.2026 ⇢ The Day the Al-Saada Building Collapsed in Gaza
⌨

Reports of Israel's killing of Rafah commander Nael Abu Obeid gave way in the morning to the collapse of the Al-Saada building sheltering families in western Gaza City. The toll climbed through the day from 8 to 11, then 16 and 20, with outlets stressing the tower had been bombed and up to 100 people, including 50 children, were trapped. Civil defense warned 1,500 buildings were at risk, Hamas blamed Israel, and the UN demanded entry of rescue teams and equipment. By afternoon recovery ended with 21 retrieved, later listed as 12 children and five women.

Israeli fire continued, killing a fisherman off Deir al-Balah and three others in Gaza. Outlets reported the death of detainee Moataz Abu Sneineh in Ofer prison. In the West Bank an air landing in Yatta, demolitions and a killing in Al-Bireh were noted, as warnings said 70% of Gaza hospital generators were out of service.
