US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller says the Biden administration is asking Israel for clarifications on widely shared footage that purports to show the IDF blowing up Palestine University’s main campus building in Gaza.

Miller says he does not have enough information to comment further on the matter but notes that Hamas regularly uses civilian infrastructure for military purposes.
