Schools gradually return to normal

After 48 hours of closure, the IDF approved the reopening of schools across Israel on Thursday, except for 5 communities adjoining the Gaza Strip, West Lachish and Hof Ashkelon, which took rocket fire during the night and after the reported ceasefire. These decisions are subject to developments in the coming hours. In other parts of the South, classes begin at 9.00 or 10.00 a.m. The Education Ministry has developed a program for in-home schooling.
