Schools near Gaza won’t open until 1.5 hours after ceasefire starts, amid fears of rocket fire

Citing a request from local authorities, the military says schools won’t open until 10 a.m. tomorrow in parts of southern Israel near the Gaza Strip, describing the move as part of its preparations for the hostage-ceasefire deal that will begin 1.5 hours earlier.

Defense officials assess Hamas may fire barrages of rockets at Israel shortly before the ceasefire takes force at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, according to Hebrew media reports.
