Protests against Israel have surged around the world after the Israel Defence Force allegedly attacked the Gaza University campus also known as Al-Asraa University. In the latest attack on Khan Yunis city, at least 77 people have died according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
The Israeli Defence Force allegedly conducted strikes on Palestine’s Gaza University on Thursday causing intensified protests across the world especially in the US. The US State Department refused to comment on the development due to a lack of information. The US through backdoor diplomacy has asked for clarifications on the bombing.
A video has been circulating on social media since Thursday that depicts the bombing of the Gaza University. A strike rapidly struck the huge campus of the University causing an instant strong impact that sent shockwaves to the area nearby damaging even the properties in close proximity. The main campus site blew into pieces while the campus at the backside also couldn't sustain the attack.
