Press concerned about school year opening

The loss of a small child, and the possible loss of the beginning of the school year, both from Gazan terrorist aggression, make up the twin focuses of the Israeli press Monday morning.

While the tragedy of Daniel Tragerman’s death slowly fades from public view into the private and lonesome agony of his family, the possibility that continuing rocket fire could imperil the September 1 start of the school year across southern Israel — and even points closer to the heavily populated center of the country — rears up like an uninvited bull at a wedding.
