Northern Israel schools reopen as new academic year begins

As the new school year begins in Israel, communities in the north are demonstrating resilience by reopening schools and kindergartens that had previously been evacuated due to rocket and missile attacks. In areas like Shtula, the reopening of educational facilities serves as a symbol of stability despite ongoing security challenges.

Sarit Zehavi, founder of the ALMA Center, noted that the return to classrooms represents a victory of spirit over terrorist elements aiming to displace residents. The security situation in the north remains a focus of analysis, particularly regarding threats originating from actors in Lebanon and Syria.
