The IDF is continuing extensive strike waves at this time, as well.
The Islamic University, which also effectively serves as an instruction center for manufacturing terrorist weapons, was founded in 1978, and has since served as an important Hamas military center in the Gaza Strip for cultivating and promoting incitement and terrorism.
The university trains terror activists in a variety of fields, especially the development and production of weapons and studying military intelligence. The University has close ties to Hamas senior leadership including senior Hamas General Staff leader Jamal Zebda, who was eliminated during Operation Guardian of the Walls and who served as head of development and projects at the terror organization's production headquarters and was employed at the university until his death.
The University has also served the organization for conferences meant to raise money for terrorism and studying contents meant to incite against the State of Israel.
