Education Minister Yoav Kisch attended a meeting at the Mateh Asher Regional Council in the western Galil in northern Israel on Tuesday amid another day of Hezbollah rocket fire at the area.
In his remarks to the heads of the local councils, Kisch admitted that the security situation in the north will not allow the reopening of schools in the area on September 1, meaning that over 16,000 children evacuated from their homes will continue to attend schools at various locations around Israel.
“This is an unfortunate decision forced on us and made with a heavy heart,” Kisch said. “I reiterate and call on the prime minister and heads of the defense echelon to act now and forcefully against Lebanon. There is escaping the decision to launch a massive war against Lebanon in order to restore quiet and stability to the residents of northern Israel and for the future of the State of Israel.
Hezbollah has launched over 6,800 missiles, rockets, and drones at Israel since October 8, 2023.

Eileh elohecha, Zionist idolaters. They can’t even open their schools a year after they didn’t stop those savages from inflict horrors on their citizens.
pssssst…. And the swimming pool
well he is acting intelligently. as long as Hezbullah can lob rockets at targets in Northern Israel, and families have had to move to other locations, so it makes sense for schools up north to be closed.
BUT, it would be better if the IDF could wipe out not only Hamas, but destroy Hezbullah too!!!
