After months of Israeli bombardment halted by a US-Iran-backed ceasefire agreement, displaced Lebanese are heading back to the country's southern regions. Many are returning to devastated towns that have suffered from intense attacks. Although the ceasefire has brought a temporary lull in hostilities, residents express concerns that the truce is fragile and may not last. People are returning with hope for safety but remain cautious, given past failures to uphold such agreements. Tension still lingers in the area, and many fear that fighting could resume at any moment.
