Israel’s civil defence Home Front Command announced in a terse statement on Sunday saying schools and other educational institutions and activities would not be permitted in the north until at least Monday at 6:00 pm (1500 GMT).
Israel’s military launched 400 attacks on Lebanon on Saturday and Hezbollah fired rockets at the Ramat David base near the city of Haifa, in their largest exchange of fire since the war on Gaza began on October 7, 2024.
The attack killed at least 30 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to medical sources, including at least 22 people in an attack targeting a school in Gaza City.
The death toll from an Israeli air strike that targeted Hezbollah military commanders in Beirut’s southern suburbs this week has risen to 45, Lebanon’s health ministry said Sunday.
“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.
