 The organization known as Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, in its new statement, has revealed that the brutal Israeli army targeted academics, scientists and experts in the region in "deliberate and specific aerial attacks on their homes without prior notice." " "The statistics show that there is no justification or clear reason to target these people," added the statement from the Geneva-based organization. Approximately 25,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed by the oppressive Israeli regime since it launched a war of mass destruction against the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year. According to Euro-Med, the Israeli occupation regime has destroyed every university in the Gaza Strip during the campaign of war of mass destruction against the Palestinian territory. Elsewhere in its statement, the organization quoted the Palestinian Ministry of Education based in Gaza as announcing that the attacks have killed 231 teachers and administrators as well as at least 4,327 students. "Israel's massive and deliberate destruction of Palestinian cultural and historical properties, including universities, schools, libraries, and archives, reflects its policy of making Gaza uninhabitable," Euro-Med warned. . Said Arikat, a journalist and assistant professor at the American University in Washington DC, said the damage done by the illegal Israeli regime against the higher education sector in Gaza was "ideological" and "intentional". Speaking to Al Jazeera from Washington DC, Mr. Arikat said "it is obvious that Israel is committing cultural genocide in Gaza". In one of the latest attacks on educational institutions, Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday bombed Al-Israa University in Gaza after a 70-day occupation. The university offered courses including law and financial engineering to students more than 4,000.
