The bombing of Al Zafer Tower in Gaza City, which housed 44 families, was the first time in the Gaza war that Israel had brought down so tall a structure.
Egyptian-mediated talks to end weeks of deadly fighting between Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza collapsed on Tuesday when violence broke out after ten days of relative calm.
The US Federal Aviation Administration said the move was taken after “updated assessment of risk” and a lack of airlines wishing to fly in the airspace.
