Tens of Thousands of Lebanese Return Home in South After Israel-Hezbollah Ceasefire

A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect on April 17, prompting tens of thousands of displaced Lebanese to start returning to their homes in the south. Many returned to find their houses damaged or destroyed during the fighting.

On April 17, Israel and Lebanon announced a ceasefire lasting ten days. After the news broke, many Lebanese began returning to their homes in the south. The roads were filled with cars as people returned home with their luggage. Lebanese officials stated that approximately forty thousand houses were damaged during the war. Some people expressed their joy, while others remained worried about the future. The ceasefire agreement includes provisions for humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts. International observers are monitoring the situation to ensure both sides comply with the agreement.
