Education Minister Yoav Kisch tweets a photograph of what he says is the yard of a shuttered kindergarten hit during this morning’s Iranian barrage and pledges not to end distance learning until classes can be held safely.
“The education system will return to face-to-face learning only when the situation is safe and allows it. I will not compromise on the safety of the children,” Kisch writes.
פגיעת הדף הבוקר בגן ילדים.
חזרת מערכת החינוך ללימודים פנים מול פנים רק כאשר המצב יהיה בטוח ויאפשר זאת.

A spokesman for Kisch tells The Times of Israel that the kindergarten is located in Ramat Gan.
