Thousands of Lebanese citizens have begun returning to the country’s southern regions following the commencement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. While the cessation of hostilities has allowed displaced families to head home, significant safety concerns persist due to widespread infrastructure damage and the presence of unexploded ordnance. The Israeli military has issued warnings to residents of specific border villages to remain away for the time being, while the Lebanese army prepares to deploy across the south as part of the transition toward a lasting peace.
- A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah officially took effect early Wednesday morning, ending weeks of intensive conflict.
- Major highways leading to southern Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley experienced heavy traffic as thousands of displaced people sought to return.
- The Israeli Defense Forces cautioned residents of roughly 60 southern villages to postpone their return while troops remain stationed in specific zones.
- Returning residents face severe challenges, including destroyed homes, a lack of essential services, and the threat of unexploded munitions in residential areas.
- The agreement stipulates that the Lebanese national army will deploy to the southern region as Israeli forces conduct a phased withdrawal over 60 days.
