Israel’s Ministry of Education has suspended all in-person classes across the country following twin missile strikes by Iran on the southern cities of Arad and Dimona. The decision will remain in effect on Sunday and Monday, according to reports cited by Al Jazeera.

Israeli media reported that about 100 people were injured in the attacks, with more than 50 of them in Arad alone. Other outlets, including Middle East Monitor and TRT World, stated that at least six people were killed and over 100 injured in Arad. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered intensified rescue and emergency operations in the affected areas, emphasizing reinforcement of field emergency and rescue teams.

The nationwide suspension of classes reflects heightened security concerns following the missile strikes, as authorities focus on emergency response and public safety measures.
