Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on May 17 that he hasn’t seen any proof so far that would corroborate the Israeli government’s assertion that the Hamas terrorist group was operating in a Gaza building where the Associated Press and other media outlets were accommodated.

An Israeli airstrike knocked down the building known as the Jala Tower on Saturday, which according to top Israeli leaders, was being used by Hamas.
