New Delhi: Amidst the ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza, a video has surfaced, for which the Benjamin Netanyahu government is being strongly criticized. This video is of a university in Palestine being bombed, which is going viral on social media. America has also expressed strong displeasure in this matter and has also sought clarification from Israel. The video shows how the main campus of the university is blown up with a bomb in one stroke. An explosion occurs in a quiet and empty campus and the entire campus turns into a ball of fire and turns into a pile of ashes within seconds. This explosion was so powerful that even the surrounding buildings shake.
When US State Department spokesperson David Miller was asked a question about this, he refused to comment. He said that he did not know much about this matter. Regarding this campus of Al-Isra University, Israel claimed that Hamas had made it their camp. He had made the university campus a place to hide his fighters and keep weapons. Israel is facing sharp criticism for the attack on an educational institution. In response to this he said that no studies were taking place there but the terrorists had set up a hideout there.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian side is claiming that along with the university campus, the National Museum has also been destroyed. This museum was also built by the university itself. This university is in the city of Khan Younis, where Hamas fighters have established bases. Meanwhile, Palestinian organizations say that Israel has attacked the Gaza Strip overnight. 77 people have been killed in these attacks. Let us tell you that Israel was attacked by Hamas on 7 October. Since then Israel has been continuously attacking.
The United Nations says that so far more than 25 thousand people have been killed in these attacks. Not only this, about 85 percent of the population of Gaza i.e. more than 24 lakh people had to migrate. The situation is such that there is a severe shortage of food, water, fuel and medicines in Gaza Strip. In many cities, people are suffering from thirst and water is supplied intermittently through tankers.
