Israel's Gaza operations since Oct. 2023 have damaged 150+ cultural sites, but UNESCO has not formally acted despite documenting the harm.
Since October 2023, Israel’s military operations in Gaza have destroyed or damaged over 150 cultural sites, including ancient ruins, mosques, and churches, according to UNESCO.
Despite documenting the damage, the agency has not formally invoked the 1954 Hague Convention, avoided naming Israel as the perpetrator, and refrained from seeking UN Security Council action or ICC legal proceedings.
Critics say geopolitical pressures and reliance on voluntary funding have weakened UNESCO’s response, undermining global norms against cultural destruction in war.
