Israeli residents of Kiryat Shmona, northern Israel, have returned to their hometown after a decade of being evacuated due to Hezbollah rocket fire. The last war ended with a ceasefire in 2024, but Hezbollah resumed its attacks days after Israel and the United States attacked its main patron, Iran, which has also launched missiles at Israel. Most Israelis support the war against Iran, hopeful it will lead to meaningful change in the Middle East. However, many residents are frustrated with Israel's claims to be defeating Hezbollah and their daily threats. Israel has launched waves of airstrikes on southern Lebanon and the suburbs where Hezbollah has a significant presence, and has warned people to evacuate from a wide area. The Iranian missiles have killed at least 12 people in Israel and two soldiers have been killed in combat.
