Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, the Lebanese government has taken the precautionary measure of suspending all classes in schools and universities across the country. This decision comes as Israel intensifies its air campaign against what it claims are Hezbollah targets.
Initially, the government had only suspended classes in certain regions, both in private and public educational institutions. However, as the death toll continued to rise, the Ministry of Education announced that schools in the entire country, including the capital city of Beirut, would be closed.
The suspension of classes is set to remain in effect until at least Tuesday, with the primary goal being the protection of students amidst the ongoing conflict. This move underscores the government's commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens, particularly the younger population.
