GAZA/JERUSALEM, May 14 (Reuters) - The building watchman spoke on his mobile intently, pacing up and down a quiet street in Gaza. In video footage caught by an onlooker, Jamal Nasman showed no panic. Yet what he was hearing was deadly serious.
He later told Reuters an Israeli officer had been giving him advance warning that the 13-story block he looked after would be the target of an air strike. Israel said Hamas militants used the building.
