Communities near Gaza cancel school studies Friday
The Israeli communities closest to the Gaza border preemptively cancel school for Friday in light of the ongoing threat of rocket fire from the Strip, following multiple breaches of an announced ceasefire.
“The decision was made out of concern for the students and teaching staff,” the communities say in a joint statement.

Earlier, the IDF Home Front Command announced it was removing all safety restriction on the area, allowing studies to resume and businesses to reopen.
“We are in touch with the IDF and are assessing the developments [of the situation],” the communities say.
