2. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Lisa Maman, resident of Kiryat Shmona:
"I’m crying all the time, I’m sad. I’m praying all the time. I’m crying a lot at night"
3. Group of displaced from Kiryat Shmona and Metulla sitting together in the lobby
4. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Lisa Maman, resident of Kiryat Shmona:
"There is no doubt that we are used to it. We are used to it, because I’m coming from Kiryat Shmona and in Kiryat Shmona, ever since I can remember there were Katyushas (rockets), missiles, terrorists and when we arrived here, it’s another fear. But it’s a fear that is also accompanied by joy because we started shelling Lebanon. And if we are shelling Lebanon, with the help of God we will return home."

6. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Lisa Maman, resident of Kiryat Shmona:
"When we are here for almost a year, so this is it, this is our house. I forgot that I have a house. In a year once I have been to my house, once, and it’s hard for me."
7. Displaced Israeli Lisa Maman entering hotel’s restaurant
8. Various of Lisa Maman talking to Orit Katz, another displaced resident from Metulla
9. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Orit Katz, resident of Metulla:
"It’s not easy. We are sitting every day and don’t believe that next (Jewish) holiday we will also have to stay here. A very horrible feeling especially that I also know that my house was damaged and I wasn’t in Metulla at all, I wasn’t home either. I’m right in an area that is very much in the range (of fire) and the feeling is very hard."
10. Orit Katz playing a board game with other displaced residents
11. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Orit Katz, resident of Metulla:
"We are hoping that now, we are starting to feel that the center (of the country) is also threatened. Maybe we will finally enter (Lebanon) and give them an epic blow and we will really be able to return home to Metulla without fear. I admit that until this war, I wasn’t afraid because I didn’t believe that we would have such a situation. The situation is so delusional."
12. Orit Katz in her hotel room looking at pictures of her grandchildren, while her husband Yaacov is working
13. Orit Katz looking at pictures of her grandchildren and saying in Hebrew "This is our life, our grandchildren"
14. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Yaacov Katz, resident of Metulla: ++AUDIO AS INCOMING++
"Terrible and awful, the situation we are going through. It combines physical damage, also in our agriculture, the orchards business, also in our house and in the factory where I am its CEO."

"Unfortunately, we are war veterans for many many years, lots of years with all the wars that we have been through and this is the hardest war that we are experiencing, the hardest one".

18. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Orit Katz, resident of Metulla:
"What can I tell you, I keep convincing myself that there is worse, that there is worse, that the hostages are there (in Gaza). I can’t complain, I really can’t complain. But I want an end to this, I want to go home. I want to go to the place where I was born, where my roots are. I am the fourth generation in Metulla, my grandfather founded the community. I can not leave my community, my roots, never."
