"To return once again to a reality where you are attacked and don't exactly have time to defend your life, they simply decided to resume normal activities, and in my opinion, it's really, really complicated. There are children here, and there are elderly people who don't have the time to run, nor the strength and ability, if the shelter is far, if the neighborhood shelter is far, if it's the building where there are elderly people living on the fourth floor who need to get downstairs."

STORYLINE:
Israeli tanks were seen being transferred to the border with Lebanon on Thursday as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah escalated amid the wider Iran war.

Israelis living along the border with Lebanon, many of whom evacuated for more than a year during the last Israel-Hezbollah war, are now experiencing another round of conflict.

"Everything is tense, the situation is very heated, and we are looking for calm days," said Shirel Gabai, a resident of the northern city of Kiryat Shmona.

The military said two Israeli soldiers were injured on Wednesday by fire from Hezbollah.

In addition, Israel’s military on Thursday said it struck additional command centers of the Iran-backed militant group in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, the Israeli military spokesman, said that the forces attacked "more than 320 Hezbollah terror targets, about 80 of them in the last 24 hours alone."

“A short while ago, the Israeli Air Force completed a wave of intelligence-based strikes in Beirut against several command centers belonging to the Hezbollah terrorist organization,” read a statement by the military.

It added that among the targets was a command center used by Hezbollah’s aerial unit. The command centers were intended to be used by Hezbollah to attack Israeli military personnel and civilians, the military said.

Airstrikes were heard throughout Beirut on Thursday, though it wasn’t immediately clear what was hit.

Lebanon was dragged into the broader war in the Middle East early Monday when Hezbollah fired rockets and drones into northern Israel, triggering Israeli retaliatory airstrikes that killed more than 70 people, wounded more than 400 and displaced tens of thousands of people from southern Lebanon, the eastern Bekaa Valley and Beirut’s southern suburbs.
