The Tel Aviv Labor Court rules that teachers will only be permitted to strike until 10 a.m. this morning amid action taken by education staff against the surprise 3.3 percent drop in government salaries for April.

The strike is taking place in preschools, elementary schools and middle schools, but special education institutions are not affected. It had been initially expected to be held until 11 a.m.

Despite the court ruling, many educational institutions are expected not to open at all, with teaching staff calling in sick.
