ANKARA (AA) – Turkey's presidential spokesman on Saturday condemned an Israeli attack on a building that houses news organizations in Gaza, Palestine.

"Israel targets int’l press building in Gaza, adding to its war crimes in the Palestinian territories. We condemn this Israeli aggression, which knows no boundaries," said Ibrahim Kalin on Twitter.

"Our fight against this malignant power will continue until the occupation is over & Palestine is liberated," he wrote.

On Saturday, Israeli warplanes destroyed a building in Gaza City with offices of various media groups, including Al Jazeera and the Associated Press.

Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip in airstrikes since May 10, killing at least 139 people, including 39 children and 22 women, and injuring 950 more people.

At least five multi-story buildings have also been destroyed in the air raids on the besieged Palestinian territory.
