After the ceasefire in November 2024, many residents of northern Israel are still hesitant to return home due to the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah. Services in the area have not reopened, and residents are reluctant to uproot their children from school. The destruction caused by Hezbollah rocket attacks has also impacted the livelihoods of farmers, with avocado trees needing to be replanted. Despite some residents wanting to return, polls show that a significant number are considering not going back due to employment challenges and uncertainty about the future.
