After 4 months: Sderot Municipality opened the educational frameworks for children staying in the city/Sderot Municipality spokeswoman

In preparation for the opening of the education systems in Sderot in about two weeks, some of the city's residents will return to their homes in the coming days, some of them are still not complete with the move promoted by the state to return the residents.

"These are 'bribe grants'," says Moran, a resident of the city.

Already today in the city of Sderot there are about 10,000 residents, already this week several educational institutions were opened.



"It is problematic that the state distributes grants to those who return, but does not say that it is safe," Moran explains.

"We are not interested in a bribe, we just want to return to a quiet and safe place. We are currently outside the city, without educational frameworks or solutions for children, we will return because only in Sderot do the children have a solution. The feeling is that those who work in the city are being forced to return."

Kinneret Rosenfeld packed her bags well after a few months in Jerusalem.

In contrast to Moran, she is excited and happy to return to her city, but asks the government and the army to continue the military action even when she and the other residents return home "We are happy to return home to our city, but we are also afraid of the future. We understand that the campaign will not end soon, we have patience. Return Sderot is important from a mental point of view and also in terms of resilience to the home front. There is nothing more important and blessed than routine, happy and afraid to return," she insists.

"Even if we have returned home, we expect the state and the army to do what is necessary and achieve the goals of the war; the return of the abductees, the removal of Hamas, the return of peace to Otef, will continue even as we continue.
