Protests, including occupations, rallies, demonstrations and campaigns, demand that the universities sever academic ties with Israel, support a ceasefire, and disclose investments. Every one of Gaza's 12 universities has been destroyed. Israa University, the last remaining one in Gaza was demolished by the Israeli military on 17 January.
