Hezbollah’s anti-tank missiles have caused destruction along Israel’s northern border, with near-daily cross-border fire since Hamas’ attack in Gaza. Thousands of rockets, mortar rounds, and drones have been launched, resulting in casualties on both sides. The Israeli defense ministry reports significant damage to residential buildings in evacuated towns near the border, with estimates of months to a year for reconstruction.
Despite intense bombardment, some residents like Ora Hatan refuse to leave their homes, determined to stay on their land. Frustration mounts among northern residents as the government struggles to define clear objectives for restoring security. Calls for urgent action to address the ongoing security threat have led to protests and demands for solutions.
As the conflict persists, the need for a resolution grows more urgent, with activists like Nisan Zeevi demanding the government find a solution to the escalating security situation and allow displaced residents to return to their homes in the north.
