None of the 19 buildings of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem was destroyed or surrendered
during the fighting. While staff and students defended Mt. Scopus, the University continued essential
work in the City of Jerusalem. Damage suffered by some of the buildings is being repaired and a
full program of teaching and research will be resumed in November, according to American Friends
of the Hebrew University.
