More on Al-Najah University's Role as a Hamas Terrorism Breeding-Ground


(Israel Defense Forces) - Al-Najah University serves as a recruitment center for various Palestinian terror organizations, but first and foremost for Hamas. The Hamas terror infrastructure in the Nablus area, including its Iz A-Din al-Qassam terrorist wing, was formed and developed at the university. According to Hamas data, more than 70 Al-Najah students have been arrested by Israel during the last two years on suspicion of involvement in terrorist activity. Photographs of campus activities depict Hamas operatives showing students how to prepare explosive charges, as well as demonstrating methods of murdering Israeli soldiers and blowing up Israeli buses. Al-Najah University boasts of its "strategic ties" with universities abroad. The list of these universities, which appears on its website, includes: McGill University in Canada, Dundee University and Durham University in England, Lille University in France, the University of Trier in Germany, Oslo University in Norway, and the Slovak University of Technology.
