According to the Gaza government media office, Israeli forces have destroyed more than 390 schools and universities in the first 100 days of war.
Gaza was home to seven universities, all of which have either been destroyed or severely damaged.
Israel has also destroyed Gaza’s main courthouse, legislative building, and Islamic university, and dozens of other centres of administration : https://www.newarab.com/news/israel-destroys-gaza-courthouse-dozens-govt-buildings

Settlers always know what they are doing, of course; it was why they worked so hard to slaughter the buffalo: they wanted to kill indigeneity, not just individual indigenous people. A people who marked time and history by the buffalo could not survive in their collectivity without it. And so, as “Plenty Coups” of the Crow nation put it,
“When the buffalo went away the hearts of my people fell to the ground, and they could not lift them up again. After this nothing happened.”
His point was that without the buffalo—the object on and through which his people existed and made collective meaning—their history could not continue. Individuals could survive, as he had, but the people had (arguably) come to an end.

“The […] occupiers, through these actions, aim to propagate a culture of ignorance, keeping our people away from the march of knowledge and civilization, and forcibly displacing intellectuals outside of Palestine,” the university said in a statement.
