Shehab Wire reported that Israel's ongoing military offensive in Gaza since October 2023 has systematically targeted the education system, killing more than 1,000 teachers, supervisors, and administrators. The destruction has affected every layer of Palestinian schooling, from physical infrastructure to teaching staff and curricula.

The assault has displaced hundreds of thousands of students from classrooms across the territory. Schools have been damaged or destroyed, leaving much of the student population without access to formal education. The toll on educators has been particularly severe, with the loss of experienced teachers and school administrators hampering efforts to maintain any semblance of organized instruction even in functioning areas.
