Strike on Gaza university kills 3, says hospital staff
Gaza's civil defence agency reports four more killed in separate strikes across the territory as the Israeli military says it is looking into reports of the university attack.
On Sunday, Israeli forces launched a drone strike on the Islamic University in Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of three people, according to Al Shifa hospital staff. The hospital treated eight wounded individuals, including two administrative staff and six students. The university's education ministry condemned the attack, stating that the victims were present for classes.
The ministry emphasized that the ongoing assault on education, with 95% of academic institutions damaged, serves as encouragement for such crimes. Over the past six days, 10 students and educators have been killed by Israeli forces. Despite a truce in Gaza lasting over a year, the violence has continued unabated. The Palestinian civil defense agency reported an additional four fatalities on Sunday, including two in the Khan Yunis area, one in Deir al Balah, and one in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
