An air raid siren blares out and we dive for cover near a newspaper stand.
A few seconds later, there is the boom of interceptor missiles taking out a rocket fired from only a few miles away.
There’s hardly anyone taking cover though because we’re in the north of Israel near the border with Lebanon, and the rockets have been fired by Hezbollah, not Hamas, into towns that have emptied.
Kiryat Shmona was one of the last major towns to receive mandatory evacuation orders here in the north. Now the region is occupied by the military.
