JERUSALEM, April 14 — Israel is closing schools nationwide over security concerns, military spokesman Daniel Hagari said yesterday, after Iran threated to retaliate for a deadly air strike on its Damascus consulate.
There will be “no educational activities” when the school week begins on Sunday “in light of the security situation,” he said in a televised statement.
“Starting tomorrow morning and over the coming days, educational establishments, day camps, and planned trips will not take place,” he said.
Israel will also limit the number of people allowed to gather outdoors to 1,000, with an even smaller number in border regions, where beaches will be closed.
