In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, Israeli fighter jets have reportedly targeted the Islamic University in Gaza City.
The attack resulted in severe damage, with some buildings of the university being completely destroyed, according to information from an AFP correspondent and an official associated with the institution.
Ahmed Orabi, a representative of the university management, stated that the intense air strikes had left the university inaccessible due to fires, rocks, and rubble obstructing the roads in and around the campus.
The destruction was extensive, with buildings collapsing and thick clouds of dust filling the air.
The Israeli military has been conducting a significant air campaign against Gaza’s ruling authority, Hamas, in response to the group’s cross-border assault on Saturday.
The conflict escalated when Hamas fighters launched attacks on Israeli communities near the border, leading to a deadly rampage and prompting a forceful response from Israel.
The targeting of educational institutions and civilian infrastructure raises concerns about the broader impact of the conflict on the population and critical services in Gaza.
The situation continues to evolve, with both sides involved in intense military actions, and the international community closely monitoring developments.
