"We attacked, they attacked - they will attack us in another 20 years": In the settlements surrounding Gaza, they return to normal | Israel today

In the communities surrounding Gaza, they are trying to return to normality:

"It's over," they said in the local parliament at the cafe on Monday morning, 12 hours after the cease-fire, "this time we were not dragged, it's true, but it doesn't matter, we'll find ourselves in another round. We attacked, they attacked - They will attack us in another 20 years. We are no longer excited about the matter."

Another old resident said about the feeling of returning to normalcy, "Thank God, we didn't leave the house during the whole period, all the children in their homes didn't leave the house either. But what can I tell you, thank God we have an army, we have a country and they did everything as it should It's better that it ends like this, quickly, we'll sit at home until it's over."

Ariel, a resident of Netivot, whom we met at the gas station, said excitedly, "It feels like I've been in the same routine for a year, it comes and goes and comes back, in terms of what we did it was much better, like the previous times we came out losers, this time it's much better. We started - We did our part. The feelings are positive even though they fired last into Sderot already after the ceasefire, I would have expected a last overwhelming response. The IDF did not respond but that's fine.

The most important thing is that no one got hurt from this, thank God, 96% success from Iron Dome is great."

An elderly couple from Kibbutz Erez added, "We closed the pool for us, that was the disappointing part, we are not leaving here with any promotion, we had no expectations for anything, so we were neither disappointed nor happy."

Besides the welcome return among the residents of the area, there are those who did not really return, the brothers Tahal and Harel Suisa spent the days of the operation in a chase against time in search of their beloved dog Django, "He is part of my soul, please help me find him, if someone took him, I beg them to return him , he is more precious to me than anything," Tahel asked for help.

"He ran away on Saturday morning, after a night of alarms. He is one and a half years old. We brought him a week before the 'Guardian of the Walls', where he received the trauma. He was very stressed. We searched for him all day in two vehicles with other friends. We went through every street and every alley in the city And we didn't find him, he was seen for the last time on Saturday. Returning to normalcy doesn't interest us, all we were interested in was Django. While searching we put ourselves in danger if there was a protected space we would have gone in but in several cases we ducked and just kept going. We are very worried about him because we We know how scared he is, we didn't go back to normal and didn't go to work."
