January 17 – Video footage emerges of Israeli forces detonating 315 mines to destroy the remaining buildings of Al-Israa University’s Al-Zahara campus, Gaza’s last standing university campus. Israeli soldiers had previously occupied the campus and used it as a military base for 70 days. Al-Israa University had been home to Gaza’s first national museum, containing over 3,000 artifacts, which Israeli forces looted before the demolition.
