Archaeological sites destroyed during the Gaza genocide

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The intense and continuous Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip destroyed approximately 100 archaeological monuments in the Strip, some of which are more than 2,000 years old, out of 325 archaeological sites in Gaza. Among the most prominent archaeological sites that were destroyed were the Byzantine Church, the Church of Saint Porphyrius [ar; en ] (Arabic: كنيسة القديس برفيريوس), the third oldest church in the world, and the Great Omari Mosque [ar; en ] (Arabic: المسجد العمري الكبير), and the Roman cemetery, which is more than 2,000 years old.[1][2][3]
