在以伊战争停火一周后，以色列人虽然恢复了往常的生活，但心态已大不相同。许多在职家长通过社交媒体表达了对“重归正常”的不适感。一位母亲写道：“难道大家都在努力适应吗？停火后我们就该像什么都没发生一样回去工作吗？”她描述了数周以来被警报声打断的睡眠，以及在照顾孩子的同时远程办公的艰辛。
孩子们在停火生效仅几小时后就被送回学校，而此前他们经历了数周的停课和断断续续的在线学习。尽管咖啡馆和海滩再次挤满了看似轻松的以色列人，但伊朗导弹留下的破坏痕迹依然清晰可见。在这种所谓的韧性背后，不安的情绪正在蔓延。许多民众表示，长期处于随时躲入避难所的状态让他们患上了PTSD，心理上难以接受突然的平静。由于黎巴嫩方向仍有火箭弹威胁，不少人对停火的持久性持怀疑态度，试图在下一轮战争爆发前抓紧处理日常事务。
ByDEBORAH DANAN/JTAAPRIL 16, 2026 20:36A week into the ceasefire in the Iran war, Israelis have settled into their old normal, sort of.“Is anyone else completely struggling with the expectation that now that there is the ceasefire we are supposed to go back to work like nothing happened?” one mother wrote in a popular working parents Facebook group.She described weeks of sleep punctuated by sirens, working from home while caring for children, and then being told to return to the office immediately.Children, too, were sent back to school just hours after the ceasefire began, after weeks of canceled classes and scattershot online learning. Cafes and beaches filled once again with ostensibly carefree Israelis, sometimes in sight of damage from Iranian missiles.Behind the veneer of Israel’s famed resilience, darker feelings are simmering.People take cover in a bomb shelter from incoming missiles fired from Iran in Holon, April 6, 2026.

Never knowing if we can shower or go to the bathroom isn’t normal,” one parent responded in the Facebook group. Another asked, “Are we just supposed to pretend the past six weeks never happened?”Then an even more pessimistic note crept in. “Can we all just get a paid spa day while our kids are in school before we go back to our bomb shelters?” one parent wrote. Another added, reflecting a view widely held across the country, “I’m trying to do as much as I can now before the war starts up again.”Mixed-feelings amongst IsraelisSuch is the condition of Israelis during the ceasefire foisted upon them by the United States. They are relieved that - at least in the majority of the country where Hezbollah rockets, still flying from Lebanon, do not reach - they no longer have to plan their lives around proximity to bomb shelters, and that restrictions on gatherings have been lifted. Many are embracing a return to normalcy.But their feelings also include little sense of victory or stability, and a great deal of dread about what’s to come.For good reason. Even as US President Donald Trump says he believes he will reach a deal with Iran to end the war permanently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is emphasizing that he is ready to resume the fighting.Signs of confidence about continued calm are fraying. Plans for Independence Day celebrations next week were reinstated and then swiftly scrapped again in multiple cities, not only in the north, where Hezbollah fire has continued despite the ceasefire, but also in southern cities such as Ashkelon.Three-quarters of Israelis expect fighting with Iran to resume within the next year, a poll by the Institute for National Security Studies found.Many Israelis believe a return to conflict with Iran, whose Islamic Republic regime, which remains intact, has sworn to destroy Israel, is needed. The same poll found that 61% of Israelis oppose the current ceasefire deal, while 76% say they be
