Three security guards were killed in an Israeli air strike on the Islamic University campus on Sunday, the second attack that targeted the institution in the space of a few hours.

Reporting from the scene immediately after the attack, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said, “The aftermath was massive.”

“The bloodstains, the pieces of flesh of the bodies that were torn apart were on the ground; the smell of the acrid, burning concrete mixed with the flesh and the blood,” Mahmoud added, saying that the Al Jazeera team had just finished filming on site and greeted the three security guards before the strike killed them.

“We could hear the hissing sound of flying shrapnel everywhere to the point we thought we were going to be hit,” our correspondent said.

In the earlier drone strike on the campus, seven female students were injured by flying shrapnel.

“One of them was seriously injured and was transferred to a nearby field hospital,” Mahmoud said.

Separately, in southern Gaza, the Nasser Medical Complex reported that two people were killed as a result of Israeli shelling in al-Mawasi in Khan Younis. Several people were also wounded, including a child.

A person was also killed in an Israeli drone strike east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, and another person was killed, and several others wounded, in an attack on al-Rashid Street, near Hamad Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported.

Attacks on education

The Popular Resistance Committees in Palestine condemned the university attacks, calling on mediators and international guarantors to step in to stop Israeli violations.

According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, nearly 95 percent of Gaza’s higher education campuses have been destroyed or damaged since Israel’s genocidal war began in October 2023.

Mahmoud noted that the majority of buildings at the Islamic University were already destroyed before Sunday’s attacks. “Only a couple of these buildings are partially standing,” he said.

The incident is “a reminder that a sense of security is painfully out of reach, even inside the place where students are supposed to be learning without the fear of these attacks”, he added.

The latest figures released by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza show that at least 1,551 people have been killed since the “ceasefire” began in October 2025, and 5,573 have been injured.

The total death toll from Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip is 74,544, with at least 175,692 people wounded since October 2023.

Israel also continues to occupy more and more land inside the Strip, with almost two-thirds of Gaza now under Israel’s military control or subject to its restrictions.

Palestinians there are also experiencing an escalating food crisis as a result of ongoing Israeli crossing closures and reduced international funding for assistance.

以色列在加沙地带发动袭击，造成至少七名巴勒斯坦人死亡，其中一起袭击的目标是加沙城的一所大学校园。

袭击发生后，半岛电视台记者哈尼·马哈茂德立即在现场报道说：“后果非常严重。”

“地上到处都是血迹，被撕碎的尸体残骸散落一地；刺鼻的烧焦混凝土的气味混杂着血肉的气味，”马哈茂德补充道，并表示半岛电视台团队刚刚结束现场拍摄，并在袭击发生前向三名保安人员打了招呼，随后这三人便被炸死。

“我们到处都能听到飞溅的弹片发出嘶嘶声，以至于我们都以为自己要被击中了，”我们的记者说。

在之前校园发生的无人机袭击事件中，七名女学生被飞溅的弹片击伤。

“其中一人伤势严重，已被送往附近的野战医院，”马哈茂德说。

对教育的攻击

巴勒斯坦人民抵抗委员会谴责了对大学的袭击，呼吁调解人和国际担保人介入，制止以色列的侵犯行为。

根据联合国教育、科学及文化组织（UNESCO）的数据，自以色列于 2023 年 10 月发动种族灭绝战争以来，加沙近 95% 的高等教育校园已被摧毁或损坏。

马哈茂德指出，伊斯兰大学的大部分建筑在周日袭击事件发生前就已经被摧毁。“只有少数几栋建筑还部分屹立，”他说。

他补充说，这起事件“提醒我们，即使在学生本应免受此类袭击威胁的学习场所，安全感也仍然遥不可及”。

巴勒斯坦卫生部在加沙公布的最新数据显示，自 2025 年 10 月“停火”开始以来，至少有 1551 人丧生，5573 人受伤。

自 2023 年 10 月以来，以色列对加沙地带发动的种族灭绝战争已造成 74,544 人死亡，至少 175,692 人受伤。

以色列也继续占领加沙地带越来越多的土地，目前加沙近三分之二的地区处于以色列的军事控制之下或受到其限制。

由于以色列持续关闭过境点以及国际社会减少援助资金，巴勒斯坦人也正面临日益严重的粮食危机。
