The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has warned that the Gaza Strip is on the verge of losing an entire generation of children due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, now in its tenth month.
UNRWA indicated that over 600,000 children have been unable to attend school this year because of the continued Israeli attacks, and it will be extremely difficult to recover the educational losses.

According to SPA, the international organization also noted that two-thirds of UNRWA schools have been destroyed, with the rest converted into shelters for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians.
In the same context, statistics from the Palestinian Ministry of Health confirm that approximately 16,000 children have died in Israeli bombings or due to illness, famine, and malnutrition since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip in early October.

According to the ministry, thousands of children remain trapped under the rubble.

Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group looks increasingly like it may strike Israel independent of whatever Iran may intend to do, sources familiar with the intelligence told CNN on Thursday.
Last week, Israel killed the top military commander for Hezbollah, Fuad Shukr, in Lebanon.
One of the sources said “Hezbollah is moving faster than Iran in its planning and is looking to strike Israel in the coming days."
Iran, meanwhile, appears to still be working out how it plans to respond to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas leader and former Palestinian Prime Minister, in Tehran, multiple officials have told CNN.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, could act with little to no notice, given Lebanon’s proximity to Israel as its direct neighbor to the north, which is not true of Iran, a second source familiar with the intelligence told the US news agency.
It is not clear how or if Iran and Hezbollah are coordinating on a possible attack right now, the person added.
On Thursday, Israel warned of a "disproportionate response" if Hezbollah attacks civilians or military bases in central Israel.
A German news agency reported that Israeli media conveyed concern that Hezbollah might attack Israeli military bases in the center of Tel Aviv.
Israel told the US that if Hezbollah harms Israeli civilians as part of its retaliation for the assassination of its top military commander, Israel’s response would be “disproportionate."
