Attacks on schools during the Gaza war
Since the outbreak of the Gaza war on 7 October 2023, the Israel Defense Forces(IDF) has conducted attacks (including numerous airstrikes) on more than 200 educational facilities, including universities, in the Gaza Strip.
By late March 2024, the United Nations recorded more than 200 Israeli attacks on schools in Gaza, with at least 53 schools totally destroyed.[1][2] By July 2024, all 19 Gaza universities had suffered severe damage with 80% of university buildings destroyed, 103 academics killed, and 90,000 students enrolled in higher education no longer able to pursue their studies.[3][4] In June 2024, UNOCHA stated 76% of Gaza's schools required "full reconstruction or major rehabilitation", and in August 2024, UNICEF stated 564, or 85%, of all schools in Gaza had been hit by Israeli attacks.[5] In May 2025, an estimated 95% of school buildings had been damaged or destroyed.[6]
The IDF states it targets schools because Palestinian militants use them for military purposes. Researchers looking into IDF's claims concluded the claims either lacked evidence, or the evidence presented was misleading.[7] When the IDF destroyed the last university in the Gaza Strip, it destroyed it in a controlled explosion.[8]
Israel is at it again: Israel’s military said it was targeting the “heart” of Tehran.
The U.S. client state wants to kill civilians as it did with genoicidal intent in Gaza. The U.S. is a principal to all of Israel's behavior.Death toll in strike at all girls school in southern Iran has risen to 165, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.
