Schools in southern Lebanon shut down following Israeli strikes
It seems only fair, given that the schools in northern Israel are already closed. Lebanon might want to consider closing schools in the Dahiyeh neighbourhood of Beirut, too | [GEO.TV] The media office of Lebanon's Ministry of Education and Higher Education has instructed all heads of educational institutions in conflict-affected areas to close their schools due to the unsafe conditions caused by ongoing fighting, according to the National News Agency (NNA).
Schools must also notify students and relevant educational districts about the closures, as reported by the NNA. Additionally, the Lebanese University has announced that its branches in the southern cities of Sidon, Nabatieh, and Tyre will be closed tomorrow.
These interruptions to Lebanon's education system follow Israel's extensive strikes on the south last night, where 400 sites were targeted, according to Israel's reports.
