School has been cancelled in nearly all towns in southern Israel, in the wake of the ongoing rocket attacks over the weekend. All schools within 40 kilometers of the Gaza border, including Be'ersheva, will not hold classes Sunday. Altogether some 200,000 students will not be attending class Sunday.
Schools to be closed will include elementary, junior high, and high schools. Students at Ben Gurion University in Be'ersheva are advised to contact the school for information.
