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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
