State to compensate parents for work missed due to rocket fire

Parents who were forced to miss work during the rocket fire that targeted southern communities in March will receive compensation from the State, in accordance with new regulations that were signed by Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz on Wednesday.

The regulations apply to parents of children up to the age of 14 whose schools were closed due to the rocket fire. Only one parent per household will be eligible to receive the funds. (Avital Lahav)
