In addition, the Hamas government’s press office in the Gaza Strip warned that schools are Israel’s military target and detailed that, in more than 256 days of attacks, At least 110 schools are totally destroyed and more than 300 are partially damaged.
Unrwa reported that airstrikes have affected 69 percent of schools, which were used as homes for displaced Gazans.
