Israeli airstrikes struck a multi-storey building in Gaza City on Sunday, footage from the scene showed, as the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) intensified attacks on northern Gaza. Thick plumes of smoke were seen rising from the targeted structure as emergency workers and residents scrambled for safety.

The strikes came just hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Israel for talks with senior officials.

His visit coincides with a sharp escalation in fighting, with Israel increasing bombardments and urging civilians in northern Gaza to evacuate.

Rubio’s visit comes as Israeli forces intensify operations in Gaza City, aiming to eliminate Hamas. Palestinian officials report that at least 30 residential buildings were destroyed and thousands were displaced.

Meanwhile, Arab states will convene an emergency summit in Qatar tomorrow to address the crisis.

In the West Bank, Netanyahu signed an agreement to expand settlements, prompting warnings from the UAE that it could endanger the Abraham Accords. Aid organisations caution that a full Israeli takeover of Gaza City could further deepen the humanitarian crisis.

Earlier on Saturday, Rubio said that the United States was unhappy about the attack on Doha, adding that it would not fundamentally alter the close relationship between the two countries.

“Obviously we’re not happy about it," Rubio told reporters. “The president was not happy about it. Now we need to move forward and figure out what comes next."

He said he would discuss “what the future holds" during his two-day visit to Israel, where he met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials in Jerusalem.
