War-weary residents of Israel's northern border region, repeatedly targeted by Hezbollah rocket and drone fire, are reconsidering their support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before the country's first election since the conflict began, Al-Monitor reported. Previous Netanyahu backers in the area say the sustained attacks and their consequences are shaping their voting calculations.
The shift reflects growing discontent among voters in communities that have borne the brunt of cross-border violence, signaling potential political consequences for the prime minister as Israelis prepare to cast ballots.
