Schools remain shut in northern border towns, Golan Heights despite Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire

Children in northern border towns are staying home today after Defense Minister Israel Katz decided to not allow schools to reopen, despite the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

According to Army Radio, the chiefs of the IDF Northern Command and Home Front Command both recommended to Katz to lift the restrictions in northern Israel.

Katz ruled against it, and the Home Front Command did not change the current guidelines, under which schools are closed in the Golan Heights and northern frontier communities.
