The University College of Applied Sciences in Gaza held the first university graduation ceremony since the start of the Israeli war on the Strip, under the name "Phoenix Cohort," referencing the mythical bird that rises from the ashes. The ceremony took place despite the destruction of the college's buildings, laboratories, and administrative headquarters, and the martyrdom of its former president, Dr. Saeed al-Zabda, and dozens of its academic and administrative staff. The article described the ceremony as a "national wedding" and a message of defiance to the occupation, asserting that education is a tool of steadfastness and identity for Palestinians. The ceremony included a symbolic tribute to the martyrs, and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Muhammad al-Aklouk, and the current president of the college, Dr. Muhammad Mushtaha, spoke about the institution's determination to continue its mission. The article adopts a glorifying tone for Palestinian steadfastness, describing the occupation as the "Israeli occupation army," "genocide war," and "ethnic cleansing," reflecting an anti-Israel editorial line.
