Hamas said Sunday that this year's International Teachers' Day falls amid what it described as ongoing Israeli occupation crimes against education in Palestine, following three years of attacks on the education and cultural sector. The movement claimed 1,050 teachers have been killed and 90 percent of Gaza's educational infrastructure has been destroyed, according to Shehab Wire.
The statement came as the global teaching profession marks its annual commemoration, with Hamas linking the observance to the broader impact of the conflict on Palestinian schools and educational institutions.
