The Islamic University in Gaza, which had previously been bombed by Israeli forces early on in the war, has now been shelled again while Palestinians are sheltering inside.
“The Islamic University in Gaza was shelled by artillery a while ago. A few people were wounded, including my cousin," a Palestinian told MEE, asking not to be named.
"The university has been used as a shelter by many displaced families, along with a nearby building. The shelling was surprising and frightening."
Since being bombed in October, the university was shut down and people began to use its buildings as shelter to escape Israeli bombardment.
On Wednesday, the Israeli military detonated 315 explosives in another university in Gaza.
