Iranian ballistic missile attacks have devastated the Marcus Family Campus in Be’er-Sheva. Vital teaching and research facilities—especially in the health sciences—have been destroyed. Decades of groundbreaking work are gone.

Shockwaves damaged half the campus, shattering windows, collapsing infrastructure, and disrupting student life. Even the sports centre, a community hub, is now unusable.

Worse still, over 100 students, faculty, and staff have lost their homes. Many are now displaced, facing urgent personal and financial need.
