University in West Bank, Palestine

Hebron University (جامعة الخليل) is a non profit, public university in the city of Hebron, West Bank, Palestine. It has an undergraduate enrollment of more than ten thousand students.

The late mayor of Hebron, Sheikh Mohammad ‘Ali Al Ja’bari, wished to establish an institution of higher learning to offset restrictions and obstacles created by the occupation by Israel. In 1971 the foundation was laid and forty three students joined the 'Sharia' college from different parts of the Palestinian Territories. in 1983, the campus was attacked by Israeli settlers resulting in the deaths of three students, and 50 students were injured. After the attack the university was closed by the newly formed Israeli Civil Administration for a period of time. During the First Intifada the Israeli Army closed the university from January 1988 to June 1991. In 1996, Hebron University was closed for six months by the IDF. The chairman of the university accompanied by teaching faculty conducted classes on the pavement outside the university walls in objection to the closure and repeated closure orders by the IDF. Eventually, the college became a university. As of 2016, there are nine undergraduate colleges and one college of graduate studies.
