π° What Happened
Two Israeli air strikes hit the Islamic University in Gaza City on Sunday. Three security guards were killed and at least seven other people were hurt. Al Jazeera reporter Hani Mahmoud was at the scene just before the second strike. He said his team had greeted the guards only minutes earlier. The first attack was a drone strike that hurt seven female students with flying shrapnel. One of them was badly injured and taken to a field hospital.
π The Backstory
The Islamic University is one of the biggest schools in Gaza. It has been hit in earlier rounds of the war. Israel says it strikes armed groups and tries to avoid harming civilians. Palestinian health officials say many civilians have been killed. Sunday's attacks came as fighting went on across the territory. In the south, the Nasser Medical Complex reported two more deaths.
π― Why It Matters
Schools and universities are where young people build their future. When campuses are hit, students lose safe places to learn.
