• The Louis Promenade in Haifa, with its views over the northern Israel coastline, serves as a starting point. From this elevated area, visitors can see up to Rosh Hanikra and the nearby Lebanese border. The promenade highlights the proximity of conflict zones to Israel's population centers, emphasizing the impact of geography on security and civilian life. Here, participants receive their initial insights into the strategic vulnerabilities and resilience present along Israel’s northern border. • A Bedouin village near the Lebanese border suffered significantly during the 2024 conflict, enduring numerous assaults from Hezbollah. The village experienced property damage and the temporary evacuation of residents. In April, a major strike targeted a community building, injuring both soldiers and civilians. Currently, the seemingly peaceful setting belies the village's history of endurance, displacement, and resilience. • Located on the Israel–Lebanon border, the Talking Walls installation in Shtula serves as both an artistic and strategic marker. The colorful murals on the walls separating the kibbutz from Lebanon convey themes of hope and identity amidst a challenging backdrop; Shtula was a frequent target during the war, with personal lives altered just meters from the border fence. Here, visitors will glean how art, community, and defense converge at the frontline. • Overlooking Lebanon from a cliff, Menara kibbutz provides a stark view of Israel's northern frontier. Nearly every building in Menara faced direct hits during the recent conflict, yet the community's spirit remained intact. Standing on this pivotal ridge offers insight into the severe challenges faced by those living in a constant state of alert, as well as their tenacious efforts to rebuild and regain normalcy. • Misgav Am, Israel's northernmost kibbutz adjacent to Lebanon, transformed from a serene community into an important frontline position during the recent war. Here, one can visit the lookout utilized by residents and IDF personnel to observe Hezbollah's activities, including rocket launches and drone movements. This location offers a glimpse into how the war disrupted daily life and the ongoing significance of Misgav Am in Israel's northern defense framework. • At the far north of Israel lies Metula, a quaint town altered into a frontline stronghold during the recent conflict. It suffered greatly from rocket fire and infiltration threats, yet Metula exemplifies the balance between fear and resilience. A stop at the renowned Dado Lookout presents expansive views into southern Lebanon and the changing landscape of this tense border area. Driving alongside the border fence and engaging with local residents provides a firsthand look at a community dedicated to recovery and the revitalization of life and tourism.
