Footage reportedly from the scene showed PA security forces in civilian clothing and Fatah supporters clashing with members of the Islamic Bloc. The Islamic Bloc had been holding a protest in front of the university after it said a representative of the bloc was assaulted by the university's security services on Tuesday.
10 employees and students were kicked out of An-Najah University after the clashes. An investigative committee formed by the university will also dismiss anyone found guilty of attempting to tamped with the university's stability, according to Palestinian media.
