On the occasion of the school year, Northern Command Commander Major General Rafi Milo addressed the residents' return to the area, saying that "the return home and the opening of the school year is a source of great pride, it is evidence of strength, resilience and an unbreakable spirit. Dear children and youth - you are the heroes of tomorrow, you are the future generation. We will continue to stand guard, ensuring that routine is maintained." The Northern Command Commander, Home Front Command Commander Major General Shai Klapper and senior commanders in the Northern Command alongside local authority heads will visit several educational institutions, after almost two years of fighting.
