Israeli forces stormed the campus of Birzeit University on Wednesday morning, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
The news agency reported that Israeli forces demanded that the university guards open their doors, as six military vehicles entered the campus.
Birzeit University is one of the largest educational institutions in the occupied West Bank and maintains its independence from the control of the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Student activism at the university is hotly contested and often reflects trends in the wider Palestinian political life.
The university council switched to online learning on 9 October due to increased attacks by Israeli forces, according to Wafa.
