TV channel Al-Jazeera evacuated its bureau in Gaza when it came under fire on Tuesday, the Qatar-based network said.
Two warning shots were fired at the 11-storey Jalaa building in central Gaza City, housing local and international media as well as private apartments, an AFP correspondent reported.“Two very precise shots were fired straight into our building,” said Al-Jazeera reporter in Gaza Stefanie Dekker, according to the channel’s English-language website. The empty missiles were directed at Al-Jazeera’s office, prompting journalists, along with a number of families who had sought refuge there from Sunday’s fighting in Shejaiya, to leave.
