IDF mulling route change for school-buses in south

Ahead of the school year, which is expected to begin in September, Home Front Command is considering changing the driving routes of school buses in the south in order to make sure children aboard the vehicles are sufficiently protected during potential rocket attacks, Channel 2 reports.

No final decision on the matter has yet been made.

Several schools and kindergartens in southern towns have been rocket-proofed over the summer, the IDF says.
