The May bombings video show a hole blown through a roof. Looked like wood to me.

Yes, the expenses would be high. And there's no telling what the enemy will come up with in the future. More below-ground shelters might be a less expensive and better alternative for the future. ...maybe some wedge-shaped (from an end view), reinforced concrete walls topped with fences, close around the perimeters of public buildings (schools, for one) would help those above ground a little in the interim.
...sorry I goofed the HTML in my last reply attempt. Here's a retry to post the whole comment.

Thank you for the reply. I'm not a structural engineer. But buildings there need to be reinforced concrete, if the materials are available (if concrete blocks used, block holes filled with rebar and concrete). Roofs need to be pitched, framed underneath with steel and sheeted with steel. Heavy-mesh screens on the windows--screens that could be opened or popped out from the inside--would help (heavy enough mesh so that fist-sized projectiles might bounce off of them).
