**Israel Eases Restrictions in the North, Schools to Reopen Amid Rocket Fire**

In a surprising move, the Israeli military announced on Saturday that it has eased restrictions in the northern part of the country, allowing schools to resume operations. This decision comes despite a series of rocket attacks launched by Hezbollah on Friday night and Saturday, coinciding with Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement.

The Israeli Defense Forces reported intercepting some of the approximately 320 rockets fired into the region. Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries from these attacks. The military also stated that it has conducted strikes targeting 280 military sites across Lebanon and Gaza over the weekend, claiming the lives of 50 Hezbollah militants, although no evidence has been provided to support these claims.

Adding to the escalating tensions, Hezbollah confirmed an attack using explosive drones aimed at Tel Aviv's suburbs. According to Israeli media, one drone struck a nursing home in Herzliya, a city north of Tel Aviv. Despite the severity of the attack, no casualties were reported.

This abrupt change in restrictions and the reopening of schools signify an attempt by the Israeli government to return to normalcy, despite the looming threat of further hostilities. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to exchange fire and leverage military capabilities.
