Thousands of Lebanese Try to Head Home After Israel-Lebanon Truce
Thousands of Lebanese displaced by weeks of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah returned home after a 10-day ceasefire was agreed upon. The truce, cautiously committed to by Hezbollah, may remove an obstacle in US-Iran peace talks.
A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has held on its first day, allowing thousands of displaced Lebanese families to return home. The United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon reported that Israeli airstrikes had stopped in the south and no projectiles had been fired into Israel from Lebanese territory. Hezbollah politicians affirmed a cautious commitment to the ceasefire while criticizing the Lebanese government. The fighting had killed nearly 2,300 people in Lebanon and displaced over one million residents. Israeli forces continue to occupy southern Lebanon, warning residents not to return. The truce may pave the way for US-Iran peace talks, with Iran announcing the Strait of Hormuz would be 'completely open' during the ceasefire.
