Israel’s civil defence agency on Sunday ordered all schools in the country’s north closed following rocket fire by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and intensifying cross-border violence.
The military’s Home Front Command said schools and other educational institutions and activities would not be permitted in the north until at least Monday at 6:00 pm (1500 GMT).
Meanwhile, 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.
