The Palestinian Authority news agency “Me’an” reports that the Al Aksa University started building in N'vei Dekalim soon after its Jewish inhabitants were removed last summer. Approximately two months ago, existing buildings were renovated for the students, and semester exams were even held there.



The new N'vei Dekalim campus will include, in addition to a mosque, physics and chemistry labs, a computer room, and a two-story lecture hall. The former Israeli health clinic will now be used as offices for the university’s administration. Other facilities to be built on the campus include a sports field and hall, a cafeteria and student registration offices. The university is currently negotiating with transportation companies to provide buses to drive students over to the campus.



The Al Aksa University is traditionally dominated by the Fatah students’ organization, and many of its students join the terror group’s military wing. Throughout the intifada, riots have taken place on and off at the campus, and many students have taken an active part in terror attacks, including bombings.



The Palestinian Authority intends to build housing for the families of “shahids” (suicide bombers), wounded terrorists and former prisoners on the site of former Jewish communities in the Gaza Strip. Arab refugees living in the Gaza Strip will not receive housing there, however, in order that their plight continue to be used for PA public relations campaigns.
