The Israeli aggression affected educational institutions, leaving 18 schools out of service as a result of severe damage, while 150 schools suffered partial damage.
The new wave of violence began last October 7, when militiamen of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) attacked the neighboring country, in what they considered a response to the escalation of Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.
According to the latest estimates, more than 1,400 Israelis have been killed and some 3,300 injured.

Hamas surprised the Israeli army and security forces who, in retaliation, launched a wave of bombardments in the Gaza Strip unprecedented in the history of this conflict.
Several governments, NGOs and UN agencies have condemned the Israeli aggression and demanded an immediate end to the indiscriminate bombardment of Gaza, where more than 423,000 citizens have been displaced.
On the contrary, its Armed Forces announced in the coming hours an imminent land invasion against the enclave, in which tens of thousands of soldiers and officers will participate.
