4. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Ilan Rosenfeld, lost his business in Hezbollah rocket fire:
“This business was hit by rockets, not from just one rocket, from mortars, rockets and all kinds of things. And everything burned. Everything I had, everything I saved, everything I built, all of it burned. There were trees here, there was tourism here. I mixed between tourism and agriculture.”

6. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Ilan Rosenfeld, lost his business in Hezbollah rocket fire:
“Every day I wake up and I have only tears. I’m living like this now until someone will look at me, and all the time I’m calling, and say, and speak with the state (the authorities), but nothing. The security situation is starting to deteriorate again, they’re already starting to announce shelters, stocking up on food, and we’re really not in a simple situation at all. Where am I in all this? I can barely survive the day-to-day. There’s no one to help me.”

8. Various of damaged apple orchard near border
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Levav Weinberg, farmer:
“When I teach my girl how to ride a bike, Hezbollah people watching on us. And that thought is something that it's very hard to take out of my mind. And it's something that I'm thinking every day. When we come back to Metula we say, okay, we're coming back, we want to close a circle because we left, it was in a rush and not in the right way. And now we're thinking maybe it's not good for us to stay here. And we have some friends that come back to Metula and left and they're very happy with the fact that they left because they don't need to... their kids don't need to challenge with the same kind of issues that we need to challenge with.”
10. Various of damaged houses on the Lebanese side
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Levav Weinberg, farmer:
“They don't have basketball and they don't have soccer and if I want to take them for afternoon activities, I have to drive them 20 minutes to the valley and they have friends, so I need to drive them 20 minutes to the valley. So why I will not move all my family 20 minutes to the valley and live there and I will be the only one that come here to work.”
12. Wide shot of wall
13. Mid of border crossing

“The rehabilitation will be slow, a lot of patience and tolerance is needed. We believe that within a year we will succeed in restoring the community to a proper and safe condition. Even the private homes that were severely damaged are still under repairs to this day. You see, I started in December of last year, and I’m still in the middle of construction because of a lack of manpower.”
