All universities in Gaza damaged or destroyed, Palestinian news agency says

All universities in Gaza have now been destroyed or at least damaged, CNN reports quoting WAFA, the Palestinian news agency.

CNN says it asked the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) for a response to these claims and has geolocated images of damage to the university that matches its location. The IDF has not yet responded.

Buildings housing the graduate and undergraduate studies were struck, Al-Israa University, south of Gaza City, claimed.

The university said the IDF looted artifacts “before blowing up the museum building to cover up the traces of their crime.” CNN asked the IDF about this claim and is waiting for a response.
