Displaced stream back to south Lebanon as uncertain ceasefire takes hold
Even amid uncertainty over whether Hezbollah would uphold the truce, Lebanese residents expressed relief at the prospect of quiet, and aid groups were mobilizing help.
HAIDAB, Lebanon — Families packed into cars with mattresses lashed to rooftops, many waving Hezbollah flags, streamed into southern Lebanon in the first hours of a tentative ceasefire early Friday, rushing home after six weeks of Israeli bombardment that has killed more than 2,100 people across the country.
