According to international law, the protection of cultural heritage during armed conflicts is a fundamental matter governed by the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, along with its two Additional Protocols. These agreements prohibit the targeting or destruction of archaeological and historical sites, recognizing them as part of the cultural and civilizational heritage of all humanity. Archaeological sites are protected under international law as "cultural property" and must not be targeted. The destruction of archaeological sites and historical locations, as witnessed in Gaza due to bombardment, is a clear violation of these international agreements and is classified as a war crime under international law. Moreover, this act constitutes a crime against the cultural heritage of the Palestinian people and represents an irreparable loss to human civilization.
