Tens of thousands of people displaced by the war between Israel and Hezbollah are hoping to return to their homes. The conflict killed more than 2,100 people in Lebanon and forced approximately 1.2 million residents from their homes.
On Friday, people began returning to devastated towns and neighborhoods, including Beirut's southern suburbs, after a 10-day truce came into effect. Those traveling back faced standstill traffic, expressing a mix of excitement and uncertainty about the pause in Israel's campaign.
For many returnees, Israel's relentless bombing campaign has left little to go back to, with many finding their homes destroyed or uninhabitable.
Because of these conditions, some residents remain hesitant to stay, fearing that the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel could unravel.
