Israel fighter jet bombs mosque in central Gaza City

An Israel Air Force fighter jet dropped a bomb on the al-Tawheed Wal Sunna mosque in central Gaza City on Sunday morning, September 7, according to Palestinian media reports. 

The bomb, which struck the religious site on Al-Nafaq Street, occurred as fighting intensified across the besieged Gaza Strip.
