										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Al Jazeera said on Saturday that it would not be silenced after an Israeli air strike demolished the building housing the Qatar-based broadcaster as well as the US news agency, The Associated Press in Gaza.</p>
<p>Al Jazeera&#8217;s Jerusalem bureau chief, Walid al-Omari said on Saturday,&#8221; It is clear that those who are waging this war do not only want to spread destruction and death in Gaza, but also to silence media that are witnessing, documenting and reporting the truth of what is happening in Gaza&#8221;. &#8220;But this is impossible&#8221;, he said on air soon after the 13-storey Jala Tower in Gaza collapsed. &#8220;This is a crime among a series of crimes perpetrated by the Israeli army in the Gaza strip&#8221;.</p>
<p>Al Jazeera broadcasted the image of the building collapsing to the ground after the Israeli air strike. Jawad Mehdi, the owner of the Jala tower informed that an Israeli intelligence officer warned him that he had just one hour to ensure the evacuation of the building.</p>
