Palestinians seek to preserve Gaza’s cultural heritage after widespread destruction from Israel’s military campaign, with UNESCO confirming damage to 150 sites, including historic landmarks, amid claims of no military presence at those locations.
Palestinians are working to salvage Gaza’s cultural heritage after widespread destruction from Israel’s military offensive, which began following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack.
The U.N. cultural agency has verified damage to at least 150 sites, including the Great Omari Mosque, Pasha Palace, and other historic structures, with some artifacts reportedly looted.
While Israel claims it targeted Hamas military infrastructure near these sites, independent assessments found no evidence of such facilities at key locations.
UNESCO emphasizes that cultural property must not be targeted under international law, and preservation efforts continue despite ongoing challenges and the loss of irreplaceable history.
