GAZA, (PIC)

The Hamas Movement has strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu for boasting about the destruction of residential towers in Gaza,
calling it one of the most brutal forms of sadism and criminality.

In a recorded speech on Monday, Netanyahu bragged that the Israeli
occupation forces (IOF) had demolished 50 residential buildings in Gaza
City within two days, vowing more demolitions and mass displacement. “This
is just a prelude to the main operation,” he declared.

Hamas said Netanyahu’s address to Gaza residents, telling them “We warned
you, leave now”, amounts to a public admission of carrying out forced
displacement under the weight of bombings, massacres, starvation, and death
threats, and stressed that this is a flagrant violation of international
law.

The Movement added that the silence of international institutions,
including the UN Security Council, reflects a blatant double standard
driven by US complicity, warning that this undermines the global system of
values and principles, urging states and free people worldwide to escalate
measures against the “fascist occupation entity” and pressure it to stop
its crimes.

The destruction of Gaza’s residential towers, including Mushtaha, Sousi,
Al-Roya, and Al-Salam, has worsened the housing and displacement crisis.
IOF war minister Yisrael Katz previously declared that high-rise buildings
would be prime targets, exposing a systematic policy of mass forced
displacement.

Alongside these demolitions, Hamas denounced Israel’s ongoing campaign
against the Palestinian education sector. In a statement marking the start
of the new school year, the Movement said Israel’s deliberate destruction
of schools, universities, and educational infrastructure is a “desperate
attempt that will fail to erase our national identity.”

The Movement condemned Israeli efforts to impose “Israelization” on
curricula in occupied Jerusalem and target Palestinian educational
institutions there, calling it a crime aimed at erasing Palestinian
heritage and identity. Hamas stressed that no matter how brutal Israel’s
crimes become, it cannot succeed in enforcing ignorance or erasing
Palestinian awareness.

According to Palestinian officials, during 23 months of genocide, the IOF
deliberately targeted more than 90% of Gaza’s schools and universities,
completely wiping out 25 schools with their students and teachers.

Over 785,000 students have been deprived of education, more than 19,000
students killed, and nearly 29,000 injured. Over 1,000 teachers and
administrators were also killed, nearly 5,000 wounded, and more than 230
academics lost their lives.

Hamas praised the resilience and sacrifices of teachers, students, and
educational institutions, especially in Gaza, for continuing education
despite the destruction. The group called on the international community
and academic institutions worldwide to take action against Israel’s crimes,
strengthen academic boycotts of Israeli institutions involved in war
crimes, and prevent further targeting of Palestinian education.
