Jewish Voice for Peace write: Since its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza began, the Israeli military has destroyed hundreds of historical and religious sites, and centers of culture and learning like libraries, archives, and museums.
Here's a brief guide to Israel's cultural genocide in Gaza:
Great Omari Mosque: Gaza's oldest mosque and the second-oldest mosque in all of Palestine, the Great Omari Mosque dates back 1,400 years. It was destroyed in an Israeli airstrike in December. In an instant, a place representing centuries of history - and housing dozens of rare books and priceless manuscripts - was reduced to rubble.
Church of Saint Porphyrius: This Greek Orthodox church was originally constructed in the 5th century, and its current structure was built in the 12th century.
