Migrant Workers Farm Amidst Conflict in Northern Israel

Migrant workers, primarily from Thailand, continue to farm in northern Israel near the Lebanese border despite ongoing rocket attacks from Hezbollah. These workers, who earn significantly more than they would in their home country, are allowed to work in restricted military zones with permission from the Israeli military. The situation highlights the risks faced by foreign laborers in conflict zones, as well as the economic pressures that drive them to work under such dangerous conditions. Despite calls from Thailand to halt the employment of its nationals in high-risk areas, the practice continues.
