Lebanon Ceasefire Holds Amid Uncertainty

Lebanon Ceasefire Holds Amid Uncertainty

A fragile 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is being tested as civilians return to 'unliveable' areas in the south.

President Donald Trump has ordered Israel to cease attacks, claiming a broader regional deal is close, but the Lebanese army has reported multiple violations by Israeli forces.

Displaced families are finding their homes in ruins in towns like Nabatieh, where essential services have been obliterated by weeks of airstrikes.

While the truce has brought a temporary end to the bombing, the humanitarian crisis in the region remains acute as residents confront the reality of their destroyed livelihoods.
