What are people saying about the ceasefire? 
You say they're not really trusting of the ceasefire process. 
>> Yeah, I mean they're thankful, right? 
We're 4 days into the ceasefire at this point. 
It took place at 5:00 p.m. local time here last Thursday. 
Um they said every day up until that point they were scared to literally come out of their house. 
So they're thankful right now that they're in the midst of a ceasefire and they could kind of normalize life for a little bit. 
But do they trust it? 
No, they don't. 
I mean to be clear, 
Israel is not that far away. 
We have a correspondent on the ground in Israel right now. 
I could get in the car and drive to her if I was allowed to do so. 
But you cannot drive through the border between Lebanon and Israel. 
So they are that close, but they are consistently at 
war. 
The one good thing I think that people are looking towards is of course Thursday because both the Lebanese ambassador to the United States and the Israeli ambassador to the United States are meeting in Washington DC on Thursdays. 
So they're saying, "Okay, hopefully we can get through Thursday." 
Mhm. 
>> Um but a lot of folks are not optimistic though they are hoping and praying.
