Israelis Displaced by Iran War Fear New Fighting, Struggle for Recovery

Seven months after a round of fighting with Iran, Israelis displaced by destroyed homes are struggling with uncertainty and fear potential new conflict. Residents Regine Shoshan in Tel Aviv and Ziva Abuaziz in Dimona describe losing everything and facing bureaucratic hurdles and inadequate support. In Haifa, a missile strike killed five, displacing families for years. Senior Israeli officials dispute Prime Minister Netanyahu's warnings of an imminent Iranian threat, viewing them as a diversion from domestic issues, though intelligence assessments suggest Iran is advancing its nuclear program.

Sheep in the Box Film Review Explores Grief and AI

Hirokazu Koreeda's new film, "Sheep in the Box," explores a couple's grief over their son's death by adopting an AI robot designed to mimic him. The movie, which opened in Israel on Thursday, contrasts with Steven Spielberg's "A.I." by focusing on the parents' emotional journey and contemporary unease with AI. While the mother finds solace in the robot, the father struggles to connect, and the film hints at darker themes involving rejected robots and the child's attraction to the accident site. The review describes the film as sweet but ultimately pointless, commenting on technology's role in human connection.
