Lebanese return home as ceasefire brings hope for peace

Thousands of displaced people started returning to their homes in southern Lebanon today during the first hours of a ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group, many defying a warning from the Israeli military to stay away from previously evacuated areas.

The ceasefire brought relief across the Mediterranean nation after days of some of the most intense Israeli airstrikes and clashes during nearly 14 months of fighting.

However, some wonder whether the agreement will hold. Israel has said it will retaliate if Hezbollah breaks the ceasefire.
