Following the missile attacks in Arad and Dimona, Israel’s Education Ministry announced that all classroom instruction will be suspended, with schools across the country shifting entirely to remote learning.

Education Minister Yoav Kisch said that on Sunday and Monday, no in-person classes will take place anywhere in the country, and all instruction will be conducted online.

The ministry said the decision was made in response to the recent strikes and after consultations with the head of the Home Front Command. Kisch ordered that all previously approved exceptions be canceled, and no physical attendance will be allowed under any circumstances — including in special education programs.

Officials stressed that the directive applies to all schools without exception. Every prior allowance for in-person learning has been revoked, and the policy covers the entire education system nationwide.

The ministry added that a new assessment will take place ahead of Tuesday, after which additional updates and guidance will be provided.
