Lakini kwa David Kamari, ambaye anaishi chini ya moto unaokaribia kila siku upande wa mpaka wa Israel, vita hivyo vitakuwa suluhu. Mwezi uliopita, roketi ya Hezbollah iliyorushwa kutoka Lebanon ilitua kwenye bustani yake katika mji wa mpakani wa Kiryat Shmona, na kupasua nyumba yake katika maeneo kadhaa na kuijaza na vifusi. Anaonyesha mashimo ambayo vipande vya misumari vilipita kwenye kuta, vikimkosa kwa inchi chache. Na kisha kwenye vilima vilivyo juu yetu, ambapo eneo linalodhibitiwa na Hezbollah linaanzia.
