For the staff and students at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, this is reality. Their university shares its campus with military “technological units, Israeli Air Force units, and the headquarters of the military’s Southern Command, responsible for dealing with threats from Gaza”.
Ben-Gurion University maintains close research and business connections with several Israeli military corporations through its Homeland Security Institute and its technology transfer company BGN Technologies, which “conducts research for companies wishing to take advantage of [Ben-Gurion University]’s expertise and facilities”. These companies include Israel Aerospace Industries, Elbit Systems, and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. In 2019, Ben-Gurion University and Rafael signed a multi-year research collaboration after the company decided to open an R&D center at the university’s Advanced Technologies Park.
Funny how the IDF uses universities as military bases too is it not. Every accusation is a confession.
They develop the drones dropping bombs on Gaza.
Do you have a source for that?
AFAIK the IDF only uses Israeli made drones.
