Israeli Farmers Persevere Amidst War Damage in Northern Israel
Farmers in northern Israel, particularly in the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights, continue to harvest their fields despite the presence of unexploded rockets, drone wreckage, and shrapnel due to ongoing conflicts along the border. Over the past two and a half years, these farmers have faced intermittent war and ceasefires, leading to frequent discoveries of 'new wild growth' in their fields, which includes unexploded ordnance and debris from military engagements. Despite these challenges, the farmers, working through the Galilee Development Company, are completing the wheat harvest for silage in the Hula Valley. They emphasize their resilience by mounting large Israeli flags on their combine harvesters, symbolizing their determination to maintain agricultural productivity in the face of adversity.
