Lived and worked in Israel way before current hype.
And had my share of sitting in a basement listening terrorists rockets blowing up above and falling in neighboring areas.
The best tech working experience of my life so far.
Even though many israelis get used to the permanent state of war - it is not for free.
Average stress level is very high, you can see it and feel it everywhere. Depression, anxiety and other symptoms are over the roof.
Anyway,
Tip #2: try living in big cities (lower street crime rates than in safest US states) farther from territories.
Tip #1: learn from locals about all these and other issues.
