We hope that the government will not make any concessions to Hezbollah, even if it means we a return to combat."

"It was a bit stressful during the war, there were a lot of sirens. You feel a bit more stressed during the day, then you have to run to the shelter, and sometimes it's not a good feeling. I think the ceasefire is a great thing. I think we have managed to succeed a lot in this war and it's good that we are stopping it now and we can try to go back to normal."

Residents in the north of Israel have expressed hope that the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah will bring peace to the country and help them return to normal life, although dissenting voices continue to question the deal's sustainability and effectiveness.
Israel's security cabinet approved a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah on Tuesday night, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said in a statement. The ceasefire agreement came into effect on Wednesday morning.
According to a recent survey by Israeli media, around 60 percent of the Israeli public believe that Hezbollah has not been defeated. This view is also held by some far-right figures including senior officials in the current government and opposition party leaders, all of whom have expressed their opposition to the ceasefire.
Meanwhile, both sides have already accused each other of violating the armistice.
Even so, there are clear signs that some residents in northern Israel are taking the ceasefire as license to return to normal daily activities. In Kiryat Shmona, a city heavily targeted by rocket attacks during the conflict, traffic and pedestrians have increased.
Some in the city remain cautious, however, and many shops remain closed.
"I'm really afraid for my children, for our soldiers, for everything here in the north. I was born here in Kiryat Shmona. I always know the bombs from my being a little girl. So I hope it's going to be good," said Daryl, a local resident.
The Israeli government has not released a plan that would enable residents who have fled to return to the northern regions. Consequently, some local leaders in the north have criticized the government for failing to achieve the goal of stabilizing the situation in these areas.
"The Israeli government said that a ceasefire has been reached. We hope that they will truly ensure the safe return of local residents and make sure that there are enough troops to protect the border areas. We hope that the government will not make any concessions to Hezbollah, even if it means we a return to combat," said Batard, another resident.
In Haifa, the largest city on Israel's northern coast and a major target of rocket attacks over the past year since the conflict began, people expressed relief and joy at being able to travel more freely following the ceasefire deal.
"Now everyone feels very free to go outside, and I just talked to my friend and said, wow, I'm so happy that I can go and travel in the north of Israel. And we are all very happy that we can have peace again," said Omar, a student in Haifa.
