The Education Ministry says it will reopen schools and educational facilities for residents of northern Israel who were evacuated amid the conflict with Hezbollah.
The ministry says in a statement that schools will be open from March 2, in accordance with a government decision to let residents return from the start of the month.
“Every student who will return to the north will be integrated into an educational framework that is suitable to them,” the ministry says.
The return of residents come after the agreement of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah in November. The IDF is slated to complete its withdrawal from southern Lebanon by mid-February.
