Quds University Slams Israeli Assaults, Vandalism

Jerusalem, 21 Rabi’ul Akhir 1437/1 February 2016 (MINA) – The Quds University slammed on Saturday the Israeli occupation for having assaulted the campus and wreaked havoc on its properties, vowing that its academic mission will keep going despite Israeli vandalism.

The Quds University administration said in a press conference in al-Bireh the Israeli occupation army has stormed the campus on several earlier occasions and used bullet fire and explosives, inflicting remarkable material damage on the university.

Vice President of the Quds University for Communication and Development, Hassan Dweik, said Israeli assaults on the campus make part of preplanned schemes against Jerusalem’s only university, The Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA).

Dweik warned of the serious repercussions of such attacks on the students’ intellectual potentials and academic career.

Earlier, on Friday morning, the Israeli occupation patrols rolled into the Quds University, in Abu Dis, and rummaged into the campus after they locked up the supervision staff in a single classroom.(T/P008/R07)
