The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah, which went into effect at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday, has sparked varied responses among citizens in Israel. The agreement, brokered by the US and France, has left some feeling optimistic about the prospect of peace, while others remain skeptical about its sustainability.
One Jerusalem resident expressed hope that the ceasefire would allow his friends in northern Israel to return home safely. At the same time, he emphasized Israel's military strength and the need for its enemies to recognize the country's capabilities.
