GAZA (Reuters) - A 13-storey residential tower in the Gaza Strip was hit by an Israeli air strike on Tuesday night and soon after collapsed, witnesses said, amid a surge in fighting between Israel and Gaza fighters.

The tower houses an office that is used by the political leadership of Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas.
