Fatah accused the rival Hamas faction of stealing control of Al-Aqsa University in Gaza City on Wednesday after the Hamas-led government in Gaza fired the university’s president and replaced him with a three-member council. In a statement, Fatah officials alleged that “Hamas stormed the university in a barbaric way and took over it by force.” The university was one of the last Fatah-affiliated strongholds in Gaza. It suffered some $1.5-million worth of damage during Israel’s incursion into Gaza in January.
