With one year left until graduation, 17-year-old Ziv Zinger hopes to begin the academic year on September 1 like other students across Israel.
But that hope remains uncertain for him and others from the country’s Northern District, who are grappling with the reality of displacement as Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon drags on without resolution. He is among more than a thousand students who, before the October 7 war, attended the Har VaGai Regional High School in the Dafna kibbutz , less than two miles from the border with Lebanon.
Sirens blared across the unfinished school just a day before CNN’s visit, according to Palestinian workers at the site, who showed videos of the Iron Dome missile defense system intercepting projectiles in the sky. Rosental told CNN that she is “not so confident” that the school will be operational by September 1. The war shows no signs of abating.
