Gabi Naaman, the mayor of the northern town of Shlomi, warns residents that “the war will intensify even more tonight and in the coming days, so we must be more vigilant than usual.”
Naaman posts the warning on Facebook after a meeting between northern council heads and mayors with IDF Northern Command Maj. Gen. Rafi Milo.
Naaman says he requested that the Home Front Command and Education Ministry shut down the education system and move to distance learning following the surge in drone attacks from Hezbollah.
