Lebanon closes schools for two days in areas targeted by “Israeli” airstrikes

Lebanon's education minister on Monday said schools in Lebanon's east and south as well as in Beirut's southern suburbs would shut for two days as “Israeli” strikes intensify.

Education Minister Abbas Halabi "announced the closure of public and private schools" Monday and Tuesday in the areas due to "security and military situations" that "pose a danger to the movement of students" – in a statement cited by Agence France-Presse (AFP).
