Parents in northern Israel are demanding safer conditions for their children attending schools near the border with Lebanon, as rocket fire from Hezbollah continues to threaten their daily lives. Many schools in the area lack reinforced classrooms and adequate protected areas, leaving students vulnerable during rocket attacks. Some parents are calling for their children to be transferred to safer schools further south, but the education ministry has refused to approve the transfer due to an insufficient number of interested students. The ongoing conflict has taken a toll on students' mental health, with some becoming reclusive and missing school for extended periods of time.
