Israeli fighter jets have dropped two bombs on a 14-story building in Gaza City and destroyed it.
The building housed businesses as well as offices for Hamas' Al-Aqsa satellite TV channel.
It was located in the old Roman neighborhood, on the busiest shopping street in Gaza.
Hamas says it has fired 130 rockets toward Israel in response for the attack on Wednesday.
Israeli TV channels broadcast the collapse of most of a massive high-rise building in central Gaza City targeted by airstrikes.
The latest escalation in fighting between Israel and Hamas had commentators predicting Gaza militants would respond with a rocket barrage.
Violence is breaking out in several mixed Jewish-Arab Israeli cities, with the burning of a Jewish-owned restaurant and a synagogue, the fatal shooting of an Arab man, and attacks on Arab-owned cars.
