The municipality of Haret Hreik has issued a directive calling on both public and private educational institutions to delay the resumption of in-person instruction and keep their doors closed indefinitely.

The decision stems from deteriorating security conditions and ongoing Israeli military threats facing the area. The municipality emphasized that any school choosing to disregard this order will bear complete accountability for any harm or incidents that may occur as a consequence.

The closure remains in effect until authorities issue further notice regarding the security situation.
