Gaza City, December 5 (RHC)-- Israeli occupation forces have placed explosives to blow up Gaza's Ministry of Justice.  Videos posted on social media Monday show the Israeli military detonating explosives and destroying a large building in central Gaza that houses the Justice Ministry and courthouses.

Multiple angles show a large number of explosives detonating simultaneously and flattening the building in Al-Zahra.  It is not clear when the detonation happened. 

In one of the videos, a Hebrew-speaking voice can be heard over the radio.  “In memory of those who murdered, and the victims of the terrible slaughter,” the man says.  “We will not forget.  We will not forgive.  Am Yisrael Chai!” — meaning: "The people of Israel live."

Then the man starts a countdown, after which the explosives detonate, and the building collapses.

Al-Zahra, south of Gaza City, has come under heavy bombardment by the Israeli military.  Large numbers of residential buildings have been leveled, videos have shown.  It had historically been an upscale suburb.
