Education Minister Abbas Halabi announced Sunday that schools and higher educational institutions in Beirut and surrounding areas would close for two days, after Israeli strikes hit the city center.

In a statement, Halabi announced "the closure of official and private educational institutions and private higher education institutions" in Beirut and several nearby areas on Monday and Tuesday in favor of remote learning, and urged principals and directors to "exercise caution".
