Residents of northern Israel are skeptical about ceasefire with Hezbollah

In the city of Nahariya, in northern Israel, residents are skeptical about the viability of a ceasefire between their country and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Shani, a manicurist who has lived in Nahariya for 15 years, said she does not believe the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah will keep her safe.

“I don’t think it’s good for war,” she told CNN . “In 20, 30 years, it (Hezbollah) will come back bigger and stronger.”

Nahariya is just 10 kilometers from the border with Lebanon, where the Israeli army has been exchanging attacks with Hezbollah for more than a year.

The war “doesn’t really end with a ceasefire,” Shani said, adding that he expected the calm to last a week or two and that fighting would inevitably return.

Guy Amilani, a resident of neighboring kibbutz Eilon who was in Nahariya in the afternoon, said he hopes a ceasefire with Hezbollah will bring peace, but does not believe any cessation of hostilities will be permanent.

Asked what he hopes a deal will bring, Amilani said: “I want to say silence, but we saw in October [de 2023] what was the cost of silence,” referring to October 8 last year, when Hezbollah began shooting at Israeli-controlled Shebaa farms, triggering what became more than a year of exchanged attacks.

“It will be two years of silence, then they (Hezbollah) will start shooting again,” he said.

“So, in 30 or 40 years, my children will protect the kibbutz gates from any harm that comes.”
