The civil defense crews in Gaza, announced that a martyr and two injuries were recovered from the Al-Manar building belonging to Abu Al-Amin family.

Local sources explained that the collapsed building consists of three floors and was partially destroyed at the beginning of the war, but the family of the martyr had no choice but to live in it despite the risky damage.

A number of the building’s residents have been detained in Israeli occupation prisons till the moment, according to the sources.
