The Al-Azhar University building in the Gaza Strip was completely destroyed, Palestinian media reported.

The Israeli army has not officially commented on its involvement in the strike.

Al-Azhar University in Gaza was founded in 1991.

This is what an air strike looks like.

My guess is a 4-ship of F-16s dropping 2 2000# JDAMs each.

Release the Falcons!

“The Al-Azhar University building in the Gaza Strip was completely destroyed”

Al Azhar in Cairo (the mothership of an extensive network of related Islamic schools, including this one in Gaza), above all else, is viewed (and views itself) as the pre-eminent authority on interpreting Islamic law. They have been at it over 1,000 years.

It has long been associated with the Muslim Brotherhood (of which Hamas is the local Gaza chapter). Al Azhar is what Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood view as their ultimate religious authority.

When the Egyptian Military overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood Government in Egypt, the hard-liners at al Azhar had to leave the country, recant their positions, or go to jail. That Gaza facility likely harbored some of those.

Plentiful and cheap, iron bombs are an incredibly effective weapon when the enemy has no air defense. Ukraine's cities would be rubble if not for Russia's failure to achieve air superiority.
