Beirut, Lebanon: Lebanon's education minister on Monday said schools in Lebanon's east and south as well as in Beirut's southern suburbs would shut for two days as Israeli airstrikes intensified.
In a statement, Education Minister Abbas Halabi "announced the closure of public and private schools" Monday and Tuesday in the areas due to "security and military situations" that "pose a danger to the movement of students".
