Israeli Schools Set to Reopen Nationwide After Home Front Command Eases Restrictions

A military threat reassessment cleared most areas for regular activity, prompting the education ministry to restart in-person classes while keeping stricter shelter rules for northern frontline communities.

Overview

  • The IDF Home Front Command said late Monday that, starting 6:00 a.m. Tuesday, most of the country will be allowed to resume full civilian activity until 8:00 p.m. Wednesday.
  • The Ministry of Education confirmed that schools will reopen Tuesday on their normal schedules and will prioritize special education, at-risk youth programs, informal education, and end-of-year preparations.
  • Communities along the northern frontline and named villages including Sifsufa, Meron, Or HaGanuz, Bar Yochai, Yesud HaMa'ala, Kisra-Sumei, Beit Jann and Sde Eliezer were placed at a Partial Activity level that requires school facilities to be near standard protected spaces.
  • No external matriculation exams will be held this week, with some tests postponed and others replaced by internal grades as the ministry finalizes an orderly schedule.
  • Parents, teachers and local authorities must now implement the Home Front rules on shelter access and gathering limits, a shift that restores classroom routine for most students while keeping safety steps and exam adjustments in place for those near the front.
