Hebron University

The idea of establishing a university in the city of Hebron became firmly-established in the minds of a group of its enlightened citizens headed by the late his Eminence Sheikh Mihammad ‘Ali Al-Ja’bari. This was after the rest of Palestine came under the Israeli occupation in 1967.  This idea came to be implemented by the establishment of Hebron University the nucleus of which began by establishing the Islamic Shari’a College to be the first educational institution for university education in Palestine in 1971. Forty-three male and female students joined the college from different parts of Palestine.
