 Israel Offers Displaced Settlers ‘Financial Compensation’ To Return North Despite Lasting Security Concerns

Roughly 60,000 Israeli settlers have been displaced since the start of the war between Israel and Hezbollah in October 2023

The Israeli government has published a plan for the return of settlers displaced from northern Israel over a year ago due to the war with Hezbollah, Israel Hayom reported on 31 January, despite the continuing lack of security.

The plan calls for settlers to begin returning to their homes at the end of February when the 60-day ceasefire with Hezbollah comes to an end if the security situation allows.

The war between Israel and Hezbollah began on 8 October 2023, when Hezbollah opened the fighting on Israel’s northern front in support of Hamas and Palestinians in Gaza. Some 60,000 Israeli settlers were evacuated from their homes in the settlements near the border due to Hezbollah rockets, missiles, and drones.

Israel escalated the war in September, launching a massive bombing campaign that killed almost 4,000 Lebanese, both Hezbollah fighters and civilians, and displaced over 1 million Lebanese from their homes in the south of the country. A ceasefire was reached on 27 November.

Though the ceasefire was declared five weeks ago, Israel Hayom notes that only about a quarter of Israeli settlers have returned to their homes in the north. Even fewer have returned home to the settlements next to the border fence. In Metula, only about 20 settlers have returned.

In Lebanon, Israeli bombing killed over 4,000 Lebanese and wiped out many villages along the border while heavily damaging major cities, including Nabatieh and Tyre (Sour).

Despite these measures, Jewish settlers have not returned to their homes in Israel’s north after they were displaced at the start of the war due to fire from Hezbollah.

In October, a poll found that 70 percent of Israeli settlers who were evacuated from northern settlements near the Lebanese border have expressed an unwillingness to return to their homes.
