... that over 150 years of documentary sources at the Central Archives of Gaza City have been destroyed during the Israel–Hamas war?

Created by Lajmmoore (talk). Self-nominated at 08:04, 16 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Central Archives of Gaza City; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

everything looks fine (AGF for the Arabic sources) but perhaps the hook could be slightly modified to make it clear that the entire centre (and not "merely" 150 years of sources) has been destroyed (also going to assume that AA is a reliable-enough source to support the claim that the centre was deliberately destroyed).
