The Islamic University of Gaza (IUG) and other educational institutions in Gaza have been repeatedly targeted by Israeli air strikes since October 2023. On October 9th, several buildings at IUG were damaged; two days later, eight more buildings on the main campus were hit. In December 2023, Israel bombed the Faculty of Medicine at IUG along with Al-Azhar University - Gaza and the University of Palestine. These attacks have disrupted academic activities and destroyed infrastructure, leading to indefinite suspensions of classes and loss of educational resources in Gaza.
