As Rockets Fly Overhead, Residents of Israel’s Border City Stay Underground

Residents of Kiryat Shmona, an Israeli city bordering Lebanon, are once again facing rocket fire, forcing them to seek shelter underground. The Israeli government had previously evacuated the city during fighting with Hezbollah in 2023. After being told it was safe to return, residents have found themselves under renewed attack. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is the reason for the renewed attacks. The current situation highlights the precarious security situation for those living in the border region.
