Médecins Sans Frontières: We warn of the halt in the production of 3D burn masks in the Gaza Strip due to the occupation’s ban on bringing in the basic materials needed to manufacture them

Hamas: We affirm that the ongoing Zionist aggression against the city of Hebron and the cities and towns of the occupied West Bank, accompanied by widespread raids, forced displacement of residents, and the demolition and destruction of homes and property, constitutes a dangerous escalation in the policy of collective punishment pursued by the occupation against our Palestinian people and a desperate attempt to break their will and steadfastness on their land.

Hamas: ▪ We affirm that the ongoing Zionist aggression against the city of Hebron and the cities and towns of the occupied West Bank, accompanied by widespread raids, forced displacement of residents, and the demolition and destruction of homes and property, constitutes a dangerous escalation in the policy of collective punishment pursued by the occupation against our Palestinian people and a desperate attempt to break their will and steadfastness on their land. ▪ What the city of Hebron is witnessing in particular, in terms of a tightened siege, the closing of entrances and exits, daily raids on homes, and the forcing of hundreds of Palestinian families to forcibly leave their homes, is a blatant violation of all international and humanitarian laws and norms. ▪ We affirm that the demolition, bulldozing, and destruction operations carried out by the occupation forces against citizens' homes, the targeting of residential neighborhoods, and the terrorizing of children, women, and the elderly will not grant the occupation security or legitimacy, but will instead increase our people’s determination to hold fast to their national rights and defend their land and holy sites. ▪ We call on the international community, the United Nations, and human rights and humanitarian institutions to assume their legal and moral responsibilities and to act urgently to stop the aggression and end the policies of forced displacement and collective punishment to which our people in Hebron and the rest of the West Bank are subjected. ▪ We salute the steadfastness of our people in Hebron and in all the cities, villages, and camps of the West Bank, and we affirm that these repressive measures will not succeed in uprooting them from their land or breaking their will, and that our people will remain committed to their legitimate rights until freedom is attained and the occupation ends.

Ministry of Education and Higher Education: We condemn in the strongest terms the occupation’s continued targeting of educational institutions in the Gaza Strip, in a flagrant violation of children’s right to education and an ongoing assault on the foundations of the educational process and the future of Palestinian generations.

Ministry of Education and Higher Education: ▪ We condemn in the strongest terms the occupation’s continued targeting of educational institutions in the Gaza Strip, in a flagrant violation of children’s right to education and an ongoing assault on the foundations of the educational process and the future of Palestinian generations. ▪ Bombing a residential building in the Al-Saftawi area in Jabalia led to the complete destruction of Al-Basma Small Kindergarten, and the blast also caused the destruction of the neighboring Al-Zahraa Private School. ▪ The destruction of educational institutions by direct shelling or as a result of targeting neighboring buildings is an extension of assaults that have affected schools, universities, and kindergartens and deprived hundreds of thousands of students of their right to education. ▪ Targeting kindergartens and schools is not limited to destroying buildings, but affects children’s right to learn, grow, and live a dignified life, and deepens the psychological, educational, and social impacts on them. ▪ We call on the international community and rights and humanitarian institutions to act urgently to stop the targeting of educational institutions and provide protection for children, students, and workers in the education sector. ▪ We call for holding those responsible for these violations accountable and ensuring that they do not escape punishment. ▪ The destruction of schools and kindergartens will not erase the right of Palestine’s children to education, nor will it break the will of a people who hold fast to knowledge and life despite the destruction. ▪ Protecting education in Gaza is no longer merely a humanitarian responsibility, but a real test of the world’s respect for children’s rights and international law.
