and residents of kiryat shmona now live in hundreds of towns across israel. aviv, where young students this week went back to school, even if they can't go back home. nick schifrin has the story with producer karl bostic. nick: it is a rite of passage with an armed escort. students arriving on the first day of school after summer vacation. reuniting with old friends. and making new ones, with new teachers. and nine-year-old twins adele and emma azulay, and their mother leanna. but this is not their school, and this city is not their home. they're the displaced, driven from their houses by war. >> most of my students, their house was ruined. nick: ofer zafrni is the superintendent of a school system whose teachers and students have been displaced across the country for 11 months. he says the instructors he briefed ahead of their first classes provide students an antidote to war. >> i think the teachers in israel in general are holding the torch of the hope. they are giving them schedule, something to wake up in the morning, something to do, a goal. all other t

we're looking at the bigger threat is the chance of how we bring israelis back home the city of kiryat shmona that you've been in you reported from there in the past and that city has been pretty much empty from october 8. that's one of his balah joined into hamas's attack. and so in that sense, i think that what the idf come here, israel is trying to do is not just giving a message. and this goes hand now with diplomacy, but it's doing an action because i, becky don't know any other way right now to move those arsenals, radwan forces that were there on the border out of there. i don't know any international force that will do so. and that means the organ have to do so yeah and you're right to point out that there have been daily strikes by hezbollah on israel since october the eighth. >> my point was the significance of that arsenal out their disposal as the group hasn't been depleted through those attacks and still poses an enormous threat, which is why israel reserves the right to go in on the ground in order to fulfill its stated goal, which is the return of those tens of thousands displa

exchanges between hezbollah and the idf, hezbollah said it fired a barrage of rockets at the city of kiryat shmona several fires broke out from the rocket attacks, but israeli police say, no injuries have been reported. this after israel launched a wave of air strikes on hezbollah targets in southern lebanon on monday killing nearly 500 people, including women and children, assault source tells cnn, the israeli cabinet has agreed to raise the level of military operations every single day. the idf says it struck 1,600 targets in southern lebanon on monday the onslaught is prompting thousands of people to flee their homes in southern lebanon as israel says, it will continue to escalate its attacks let me shut down law in vain. >> today's he didn't understand. i would like to clarify israel's policy accumulo we are not waiting for direction. we are ahead of it everywhere in every arena anytime we've eliminating seniors eliminating commanders, eliminating rockets, i'm counting those who tried to hurt us. we will hurt them gravely certainly, i promise to change the security balance, the balance of powe

and there are all these communities along the border from kiryat shmona to metula, to other communities that haven't been evacuated, and they've faced continuous rocket fire since october 8th. and it was so heavy at one point with these anti-tank guided missile attacks along the border that they had to actually evacuate these families to hotels across the country. and they've been living there ever since. and i just want to give you a quick example of what takes place when these rockets come across the border, because oftentimes we see maybe one house or one area that's hit by a hezbollah rocket. and you see the damage to that house or that street or that car, as we've seen some of the images over the past several days. but i want to just take you back to the druze community in the golan heights of majdal shams. hezbollah fired a heavy rocket that was made in iran at majdal shams, a very peaceful, quiet community in the northern part of the golan heights. very close to the border, but a community that was not evacuated. and i want to warn our viewers. what i'm going to describe is quite

and again, we can show you this is a map of kiryat shmona, the area there in northern israel, which wasdrone and missile attack just within the last hour , attack just within the last hour, fired over the border from southern lebanon into that area. and that was the second such attack. martin, in just the space of an hour. so more than two dozen missiles and drones launched. it shows that hezbollah, of course, still has capability to do this. this was an enormous attack aimed at degrading hezbollah's capability in the command and control system. but in comparison to hamas, the terrorist organisation in gaza that launched those attacks on october seventh last year, that caused so many deaths in these hostages to be taken as well, compared to the power and the weapons at hand that hamas has, there is no comparison. the hezbollah is a magnitude several times that of hamas with not just rockets, but missiles and drones and the capability to launch these missiles much further into israel to target the major population centres. and there is real concern, martin, that we may be heading ever cl
