The 11 suspects were members of the university's Islamic Bloc, a Hamas-affiliated organization, The Times of Israel reported, citing IDF Spokesman in Arabic Lt. Col. Avihay Adraee.
According to Adraee, the students were suspected of transferring funds to Hamas, organizing pro-Hamas rallies and spreading propaganda for the terror group.
They did this "under the supervision and guidance of senior Hamas officials," according to The Times of Israel.
Birzeit University in Ramallah said in a statement that Israeli forces raided the campus Tuesday morning. Hours later, the students held a ceremony at the site to mark the anniversary of the Hamas movement's founding, Haaretz reported.
In July, the IDF arrested dozens of students at Birzeit University suspected of belonging to a Hamas student cell.
