Israel shuts schools over insecurity

POSTED ON September 22, 2024 •   Breaking News      BY Abiodun Saheed Omodara
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu

Schools in northern Israel were ordered closed on Sunday by the country's civil defence agency following rocket fire by the Lebanese group Hezbollah and escalating cross-border violence.

The military's Home Front Command said educational activities would not be allowed in the north until at least Monday evening.

The death toll from an Israeli air strike targeting Hezbollah commanders in Beirut's southern suburbs this week has risen to 45, according to Lebanon's health ministry.

“The number of dead has risen to 45 people,” a ministry statement said, updating an earlier toll of 37 from the Friday attack.

It said, “Work continues to remove the rubble for the third day in a row,” and that DNA sampling would be used to determine the identities of some of the bodies.
