"The war must be taken to the enemy's ground, not ours": under fire from Hezbollah, Israelis refuse to flee their cities at the border with Lebanon

Despite rocket fire from Hezbollah, residents in northern Israel's kibbutz and cities near the Lebanese border are determined to stay put and continue their lives.

In northern Israel, particularly in the kibbutz and cities close to the Lebanese border, residents are choosing to remain in their homes despite the ongoing threat from Hezbollah rocket fire. Many of them, having been evacuated during the crisis in 2023, are now adamant about not abandoning their residences again, adopting a resolve to withstand the current tensions. The local atmosphere is marked by the presence of military defenses, including Merkava tanks, which create both a sense of security and a reminder of the peril that looms.
