Gaza Artifacts Saved From Airstrike | JQJO

Aid workers in Gaza City launched a last-minute rescue mission, salvaging thousands of priceless artifacts from a warehouse slated for demolition by the Israeli military. The warehouse, containing items from a 4th-century Byzantine monastery and other significant historical sites, was targeted due to alleged Hamas activity. Nine hours of negotiations with the Israeli military and a frantic search for transport were needed to move the artifacts, some of which were damaged during the rushed relocation. The rescue operation highlighted the conflict's impact on cultural heritage, with UNESCO reporting damage to at least 110 cultural sites in Gaza.
