Security restrictions lifted on most of south, schools open

The Home Front Command lifts security restrictions on much of southern Israel, with the exception of the Gaza periphery and Lachish region.

This means schools are set to open in southern cities like Ashdod, Ashkelon and Beersheba as a tense calm returns to the country after two days of rocket fire.

Security officials will make a decision on the Gaza envelope region in the coming hours, the Home Front Command says.
