Israeli forces conducted a raid at Birzeit University, citing intelligence about a planned gathering in support of terrorism on campus. Troops and Border Police entered the university as the event began, using crowd-control tactics and firing warning shots to disperse attendees. The situation escalated when hundreds of individuals reportedly threw stones from rooftops, prompting Israeli forces to respond with further crowd-control measures and live fire aimed at those they identified as leading the violence. Palestinian sources reported clashes, with several students injured and some hospitalized, and claimed that Israeli forces entered campus buildings and confiscated property linked to a student group.
