Palestinian Federation of Unions of University Professors and Employees condemned, in a statement Sunday, the Israeli army raids on Palestinian universities during the past three days.

Such attacks, in which army forces seized PCs and stole other equipment, are a grave violation of all international conventions banning the entrance of military into universities worldwide, it said, adding that these attacks are an attempt to harm the potential of the Palestinian people and the youth.

The federation called upon all international academic and human rights organizations throughout the world to prevent similar incidents in the future, and to pressure Israel to honor all international laws and to stop such “barbarous acts.”

Meanwhile, Ahmad Tamimi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Polytechnic University of Palestine, condemned the Israeli raid on the university, on Sunday dawn hours, in which army seized PCs and other academic contents.
