Today marks one year since Hamas attacked kibbutzim and settlements in Israel. As a result of this incident, the war in Gaza and southern Lebanon continues at high intensity. Israel is also preparing to retaliate against Iran following rocket attacks from Iranian soil last week.
A Kan poll found that many Israelis fear for their safety after a year of fighting. Some expressed confidence in the army, but many doubted the actions of the command to ensure the safety of citizens. However, some respondents said that after a year of war they began to feel more Israeli.
According to the survey, about a third of Israelis admitted that ties with their homeland have weakened due to hostilities. However, most respondents noted that they still feel close ties to Israel and express hope for future peace and security.
