Businesses in the city of Sderot have opened for the first time in five months. The opening was accompanied by great excitement, but also heavy apprehension.
Business owners worry about their future, with loans taken out and workers missing. Yohai Dahan, the owner of the Yodika store "Kodsheya", claims that the state's treatment of businesses is lacking. "There is a different atmosphere, many people have returned," they say excitedly, but emphasize that the situation is not bright.
