The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) has blown up Israa University building in southern Gaza on Wednesday, destroying the Graduate Studies and main Bachelor's faculties.

The Israeli Occupation aggression was not limited to the main building only; it also reached the National Museum, which Israa University has proudly founded as a nationally licensed museum by the Ministry of Antiquities. It was the first museum on a national level, containing over 3,000 rare artifacts. IOF soldiers and officers looted these artifacts before demolishing the museum building to cover up the evidence of their crime.

The IOF also demolished the buildings of the first and only university hospital in Gaza, and the second in Palestine, along with the medical and engineering laboratories, nursing laboratories, media training studio, the special court hall for the Law College, and graduation halls.

The cafeteria building was also destroyed. Additionally, IOF aircraft targeted and destroyed the main mosque within the southern campus.
