Schools reopen for evacuated students in northern Israel

Reporter at The Times of Israel

Of the some 16,000 students who were evacuated during the war with Hezbollah in the north, 63.7% of them have returned to school today, according to the Hebrew news outlet Ynet.

The news site also reports that 83.3% of evacuated teachers have returned to teach in the north.

A ceasefire with Hezbollah went into effect in November and the government has been working to return the 60,000 evacuated residents to their homes.

However, many face difficulties in returning due to the widespread destruction.
