Its campus buildings were completely destroyed by Israeli bombing during the Israel–Hamas war on 19 October 2023.[2] Israeli forces then shelled Palestinians living amid the rubble of the university on January 22, 2024.[3] The university's president, prominent academic Said Alzebda, was killed during the Gaza War on 31 December 2023.[4]

Despite the destruction of its campus, in August 2024 the university announced a project to integrate medical students directly into Gaza's health sector via a five-month training program funded by Kuwait.[5]
