Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor asserted in a new report that the deliberate and extensive targeting of educational institutions and cultural assets in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli occupation forces is a further indication of the ongoing genocide it has been committing since October 7, 2023.

According to the human rights organization, the recent military attacks in Gaza have severely disrupted the educational process in all universities and colleges. They also resulted in the killing of three university presidents and over 95 university deans and professors, with 68 of them holding professor’s degrees. Additionally, 88,000 students are unable to pursue their university education, and 555 students granted international scholarships cannot travel abroad due to the ongoing Israeli aggression.

Israeli actions align with policies of rendering Gaza uninhabitable

On February 6, IOF targeted Al-Aqsa University in Gaza City, causing significant damage, with two buildings destroyed. Earlier, Al-Israa University had been completely demolished, as confirmed by Euro-Med Monitor, which noted that the IOF blew up all of Al-Israa University's buildings and facilities on January 17, more than two months after converting the school into military barracks and a detention center.

On October 9, the Israeli army launched multiple air raids on Al-Rabat College in Gaza City, resulting in the complete destruction of its headquarters, as highlighted by Euro-Med Monitor. The rights group emphasized that, according to estimates from the International Monetary Fund, 70% of colleges and universities in the Gaza Strip have been destroyed, causing a loss of $720 million for the education sector in Gaza.

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor stated that Israeli actions constitute war crimes under the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. These crimes include the deliberate and widespread destruction of buildings intended for educational, artistic, scientific, and religious purposes, as well as historical monuments.

Israeli actions align with its public policies of making the Gaza Strip uninhabitable and expelling its Palestinian residents, as per the report. By creating a coercive environment lacking basic services and necessities for survival, and destroying physical safety and psychological stability, "Israel" aims to force the inhabitants of the Strip out, the report concluded.
