In light of the ongoing security situation, schools in northern Israel are to remain closed tomorrow, the Education Ministry says.

Classes will be held remotely and no in-person activities will be held, including field trips and afterschool activities.

The ministry is set to reassess the situation tomorrow evening, in conjunction with IDF’s Home Front Command.

Educational facilities were closed across the north today due to rocket fire from Hezbollah in Lebanon. The affected areas include Haifa and areas to the north, including the Golan, the Galilee, the Jordan Valley and communities along the Lebanese border.

Schools in the rest of the country are to function normally, the ministry adds.
