After barrage, Home Front Command orders schools shut in cities near Haifa
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The IDF Home Front Command is issuing stricter guidelines in several cities near Haifa, which prevent schools from operating.
Schools will not be able to open in Kiryat Ata, Kiryat Bialik, Kiryat Yam and Kiryat Motzkin, under the latest guidelines. Schools will stay open in Haifa itself, provided that a bomb shelter can be reached quickly enough.
The change comes after Hezbollah fired 105 rockets at the Haifa area this morning.
There are no other changes, the IDF adds.
