GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Hamas Movement has condemned the “systemic targeting” of schools and universities in Gaza, calling Israeli conduct a war crime that aims to destroy the educational system in the Palestinian territory.
Hamas said the attacks on educational institutions are part of “the genocide and ethnic cleansing” of Gaza and Israel’s push to “destroy all elements of life” in the enclave.
“We call on the United Nations and international rights groups to document these crimes and all crimes committed by the terrorist Zionist occupation in the Gaza Strip and to shoulder their responsibility to condemn and prosecute this criminal entity,” Hamas said.
Recent footage of Israeli forces blowing up the Al-Israa University in southern Gaza in what appeared to be a controlled demolition has sparked international outrage.
The Israeli forces blew up the university after 70 days of occupying it and converting it into a military barracks and a detention center.
