Nearly two-thirds of Israeli school children who were evacuated from their homes in the north due to the war with Hezbollah have returned to their schools, the Israeli Education Ministry said on Sunday.
Sixty-four percent of the 16,000 pupils evacuated last year are back in their original schools. The ministry said that 83% percent of evacuated teachers have also returned to teach in northern Israel.
Some 113 educational institutes in northern Israel have now reopened, including 57 kindergartens, 24 daycare centers, 22 elementary schools and 10 high schools.
A ceasefire with Hezbollah took effect in November after a yearlong war.
About 60,000 evacuated residents from northern Israel have still not returned home.
