“We stress that under international humanitarian law, civilians and civilian infrastructure must be protected and should not be targeted,” he said. Following a war that left most of Gaza damaged or destroyed, UN partners are reporting fresh attacks on civilian infrastructure. Israeli troops also placed new cement blocks nearby, marking a further expansion of restricted areas beyond the terms of the October ceasefire. Since then, Israeli attacks have led to 1,209 fatalities and 3,943 injuries in Gaza. Across the occupied West Bank meanwhile, more than 80 Palestinian schools are currently subject to demolition or related orders, the UN Deputy Spokesperson said.
