Lebanon delays start of school year due to Israeli strikes

BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon says the country will be postponing the start of the school year as Israel escalates its airstrikes against the Hezbollah terror group.

Education Minister Abbas Halabi says the new start date for more than one million students will be November 4, because of “security risks.”
