Israeli military strikes hit the Islamic University campus in Gaza City on Tuesday, resulting in three fatalities, according to witnesses and local officials at the scene. The two separate airstrikes struck areas where students and security guards were present, causing casualties among both groups.
The Islamic University, one of Gaza's leading academic institutions, has faced repeated attacks during periods of escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The university serves thousands of students pursuing higher education across multiple disciplines and faculties.
The strikes underscore the vulnerability of civilian institutions during military operations in Gaza, where residential and educational facilities are often located in close proximity to populated areas. The incident comes amid continuing tensions and periodic flare-ups of violence between Israeli forces and armed groups in the Palestinian territory.
Local emergency services responded to the scene following the airstrikes. No immediate statement was released by the Israeli military regarding the specific targets or objectives of the strikes at the time of reporting.
