Unnerved Tel Aviv Parents Keep Their Children Home From School Fearing Gunman on the Loose
As the manhunt continued for the perpetrator of last Friday’s shooting at a popular outdoor pub in central Tel Aviv, parents defied defense officials’ urging for normalcy and kept their children home from school.
According to Israel’s army radio, Galatz, only 30 percent of students showed up for class at the Alliance high school in the Ramat Aviv neighborhood in northern Tel Aviv, where the cell phone of the shooter was discovered on Sunday and searches were especially heavy.
In the rest of Tel Aviv, municipal authorities said school attendance hovered at around 80%.
At the same time, city officials said the city was functioning on heightened security.

Security was bolstered around schools until the evening hours.
