In-person classes canceled today in several northern cities including Haifa, Nahariya, Acre

Schools in several northern communities have canceled in-person classes today after Hezbollah fired three barrages at the Jezreel Valley overnight and earlier this morning.

Channel 12 News reports that schools in towns and cities including in the Jezreel Valley, Migdal Haemek, the Krayot area, Haifa, Nahariya, and Acre will be closed today amid the ongoing tensions.

The IDF Home Front Command is expected to update its civilian instructions to order all classes north of Haifa to be held remotely today, Channel 12 adds.

Last night, the Education Ministry said that schools in the north would hold classes today only if the locations have sufficient protected areas for students and staff to shelter. Otherwise, classes were set to be held remotely.

Schools in the rest of the country are functioning as usual.
