The AFP bureau was struck because it was beaming Israeli offensive live to viewers around the world

PARIS – A collaborative investigation by AFP and international media outlets published on Tuesday points to Israel i tank fire likely being the cause of blasts that damaged the global news agency's Gaza bureau on November 2.

The Israeli military has said "the building was not targeted in any way", and in June said the incident was under review.In 2015, it moved to the three top floors of the 12-storey Hajji building in Gaza City's Rimal neighbourhood, two blocks from the Mediterranean Sea. Adel Zaanoun, a journalist whose career with AFP in Gaza spans three decades, said the bureau in the Hajji building, with its view onto the Mediterranean Sea and over large parts of the city, had been useful for coverage, but also "a safe haven in times of war".It is from the office in the Hajji building that staff initially covered the conflict, with the agency sharing the bureau's address and coordinates with the Israeli military within the first day of the war.

The Israeli military said there had been an Israeli "strike near the building to eliminate an immediate threat" that "might have caused debris", but "the building was not targeted in any way".Archived live footage from the camera shows bright flashes in the distance several seconds before blasts rock the building, with several experts establishing a correlation between the two.

"If it had been a different kind of projectile, we would have seen different kinds of shrapnel," he said. Positioning that radius over a satellite map, it located the possible point of departure to a wasteland northeast of the AFP bureau. The team did not hear any unusual activity going on near the camera in parts of the live stream footage that they viewed from November 2 and days before.But the strikes come within a series of incidents involving the Israeli army and media over the course of the war.
