There are four museums in Gaza, and two have been levelled, the International Council of Museums-Arab (ICOM-Arab) confirmed to Al Jazeera…
Gaza’s Tourism and Antiquities Ministry estimated that as many as 104 mosques have been damaged or destroyed since the start of the Israeli assault. This includes the Othman bin Qashqar Mosque in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, which was built in 1220 at the site where Prophet Muhammad’s great-grandfather is believed to have been buried…
“All our heritage sites are clearly marked, yet the Israeli military strikes, the tanks and the bulldozers continue,” the archaeologist said. “But I have faith all this will end. Even if they attempt to destroy our past, we will build back Gaza’s future.”

Israel is no better than IS. Barbarians.
Uhhhh Israel isn’t targeting cultural sites, it is targeting tunnels, which Hamas was sure to build under cultural sites.
That makes no sense.
Comparing Israel to the IS makes no sense
Israel is a religious ethnostate which blew up cultural sites.
IS is a religious ethnostate which did the same thing.
That’s true.
Also true is the significant difference: that IS is targeting the cultural site itself, and IDF is targeting the most sophisticated tunnel warfare system in history, with some 800 tunnel shafts found in and around densely populated public infrastructure and from which Hamas soldiers emerged, did a bunch of mass shootings of families and first responders, and then retreated back into?
Tunnels are underground. You need to get off your ass and engage in some hand to hand combat if you’re going to get in some tunnels. Killing civilians and destroying their cultural sites does nothing to the tunnels.
Nah. Civilians need to get out of Gaza City. The tunnels are forfeit.
Now do an overlay of the tunnel system.
You first.
edit to add … with links that provide info on each tunnel.
Well didn’t you know, the Taliban blew up the Buddhas in Bamiyan because they wanted to destroy the tunnels hidden behind them.
/S
Best I can do is overlay the blockade
Oh course that’s the best you can do because you’re spreading propaganda. The tunnels are fair game for airstrikes.
Ah yes, seeing how Israel chokes every basic necessity from all the people of Gaza is propaganda. Not justifying how bombing hospitals, schools, refugee camps, water desalinization plants, and public infrastructure for months with no end because tunnels that were built due to the blockade. On top of shutting off the water, electricity, all imports, and international aid on top of it because Gaza has always been under Israeli military control. Tell me more how Israeli retaliation is always fair game and Palestinians retaliation never is. how is it not an apartheid again?
you’re spreading propaganda. The tunnels are fair game for airstrikes.
The irony.
Fucking assholes. Trying to wipe.out the cultural memory of an entire people.
