Israeli broadcaster Channel 13 has quoted Yoav Kisch, who said that if the “reality” in northern Israel, where Hezbollah has launched daily attacks on Israeli military positions and settlements, does not change by August 1, “The school year will not open.”

Currently, there are fires raging in northern Israel, after the Lebanese group attacked Israel with one of the largest rocket barrages it has unleashed since the beginning of the war.

The launch of close to 100 projectiles this morning came in response to the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in southeastern Lebanon in a strike the previous evening.

The attacks raise concerns that the military confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah is escalating, with both sides saying they are prepared for war.

Nevertheless, two-thirds of the public support the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and nearly 80 percent believe it has placed the Palestinian issue at the center of global attention, according to the polling data.

The survey explains, “It is important to note that support for this attack, as we will see later, does not necessarily mean support for Hamas and does not mean support for any killings or atrocities committed against civilians.
