Organized by the "Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee," students gathered to pay tribute to the "victims" of the latest IDF raid.
Students at Harvard University held a vigil and memorial Tuesday to honor the "martyrs" killed in the IDF raid on Al-Sifa Hospital on Monday night.
During the Israeli operation, IDF forces killed senior Hamas commander Faiq Mabhouh and more than 100 other terrorists.
The organization asked the students to
"mourning the martyrs and the ongoing genocide in which Harvard is complicit."
On Tuesday, the group also released a video of the event showing dozens of students holding Palestinian flags as they recited a statement condemning the IDF raid on Al-Sifa.
"We gather here as Harvard students and community members to hold Harvard's moral and material complicity in colonial violence, apartheid, and ongoing genocide accountable."
- they said.
According to the Harvard Crimson, the campus paper, more than 80 students attended the vigil at the Smith Campus Center, which was co-organized by the Harvard African and African American Resistance Organization, Harvard Jews for Palestine and other pro-Palestinian organizations.
According to the Israeli army , it killed more than one hundred and forty Palestinian militants in and around the Sifa hospital in Gaza City in its operation that started four days ago and lasted until Thursday, and took control of the hospital again.
In the last one day alone, more than fifty Palestinian militants were killed by the army and the Israeli internal security service Shin Bet in a joint operation.
The army had already occupied the hospital once since the beginning of operations in the Gaza Strip, but then withdrew, allowing Palestinian militants to retake the compound of the medical facility and build new military infrastructure there. The Israeli army has now destroyed this infrastructure as well, such as weapons depots, and detained hundreds of Palestinians suspected of terrorist activities. Some of those detained were taken to Israel for interrogation.
