The lead story on the Chronicle of Higher Education‘s news blog this morning is the destruction of two buildings at the Islamic University In Gaza by Israeli airstrikes.

Israeli bombing runs in Gaza are in their third day, and Israel charges that the university is a “research and development center for Hamas weapons.” 

There were no casualties in the attack on the university, as it was evacuated at the start of the Israeli campaign. The two buildings destroyed housed science laboratories and women’s classrooms.

Meanwhile, Israeli media is reporting that competing protests opposing and supporting the Gaza airstrikes were held at the campuses of Hebrew University and Haifa University on Monday.
