"I think that as soon as they decided to evacuate all the communities in the north, they should have put it in the goals of this war and as quickly as possible I think. Most of the residents left the city and probably most of them won’t return and this problem should be solved as soon as possible. The residents of the north won’t return if there is no sense of security."
5. Empty road
6. Closed lottery stand
7. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Moshe Weinstein, Metulla resident:
"Katyusha (rockets) are falling, missiles above the head and below. Just last night a Burkan missile fell next to my son’s house in Metulla. Who cares? Who’s coming here?"
8. Closed school
STORYLINE:
Residents in northern Israel were not convinced Tuesday after the security cabinet decided that halting Hezbollah attacks is now a war goal.
They said they believed this should have been done a long time ago.
"I think that as soon as they decided to evacuate all the communities in the north, they should have put it in the goals of this war and as quickly as possible I think," Kiryat Shmona resident Toby Abutbul said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced earlier in the day that returning residents evacuated from Israel’s north due to cross-border fighting with Lebanon’s militant group Hezbollah is now an official war goal.
Hezbollah began striking Israel almost immediately after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that sparked the Israel-Hamas war.
Since then, Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire daily, coming close to a full-blown war on several occasions and forcing tens of thousands on both sides of the border to evacuate their homes.
