Palestinian students clashed with Israeli troops, and an Israeli car was damaged by a firebomb in occupied Gaza City, military and Palestinian sources said. Israeli troops surrounded the city’s Islamic University and used a tank to force open one of the gates when their way was blocked by students. A Palestinian source said the clash started after students of Gaza City’s Al Azhar University demonstrated and stoned cars. A week ago, the two universities were ordered closed for three days after five people were injured in clashes between soldiers and students.
