00:00Tanks and troops deploy along Israel's border with Lebanon.
00:04Whilst overhead, rockets fired by Hezbollah are intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome system.
00:13Roughly 60,000 Israelis evacuated from their homes in the north almost one year ago still
00:19don't know when they'll go back.
00:21The Israeli government says their safe return is a main priority.
00:25There are challenging days ahead.
00:28We have more tasks to complete.
00:30First of all to return our abductees who were brutally held by Hamas in Gaza, and to return
00:36the residents in the north and south to their homes in safety.
00:42But while the focus shifts to the north, the families of hostages still held by Hamas in
00:47the Gaza Strip say the plight of their loved ones has been forgotten.
00:54On Saturday night in Tel Aviv, protesters packed the streets, urging the government
00:58to double its efforts to free Israeli captives.
01:02The fact that these are more tense days and that there's other activities in Lebanon doesn't
01:07change the fact that these hostages are still there and we need to do everything to bring
01:12them back safely.
01:13The north is a different problem.
01:16We should attack Hezbollah.
01:20It's an OK move but first we have to reach a deal to get all our hostages back home now
01:28alive.
01:29There were less protesters than usual because Israel has limited the size of public gatherings
01:35for 1,000 people in response to the threat of rocket attacks from Hezbollah.
01:40Israelis already on edge are once again learning to live with the daily sound of air raid sirens.
