The Israel Teachers Union declares that schools in certain northern and southern regions will be exempt from a planned strike on Sunday when the academic year is set to begin.
The organization’s exceptions committee says the decision is made due to the ongoing situation in the country and that the cases deserved to be assessed based on their merit.
Sdot Negev, Sha’ar HaNegev, Sderot, Ofakim, Netivot, Merhavim and Eshkol council areas are excluded from the strike, in addition to a school in Kibbutz Yad Mordechai.
Schools in Kibbutz Kabri and Majdal Shams, Western Galilee High School and Nofey Golan High School will be exempt from the strike in the north.
