Following the Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire, displaced Lebanese citizens are starting to return to their homes in the evacuated southern regions of the country. The ceasefire, which took effect early Wednesday morning, has allowed people to go back to their villages. However, many are finding their homes unrecognizable, damaged, or destroyed due to Israel's bombardment that lasted for a year with cross-border strikes and months of full-scale war.
One returning resident, Hussein Sweidan, expressed a sense of victory, pride, and honor for the Shiite sect and all of Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hussam Arrout, a father of four, mentioned that his family is still cautious as Israel has not completely withdrawn from Lebanon. They are waiting for the army's announcement before heading back to their village.
