00:04On the first morning since the ceasefire took effect, displaced people here just outside the southern suburbs of Beirut, Dahye
00:11remain skeptical.
00:13They fled the suburb, a Hezbollah stronghold which has long been target of Israeli military action and has been heavily
00:19bombarded since Israel's military invasion began on March 2nd.
00:24Ali says he can't return to Dahye for now. The Israeli military destroyed his home and he doesn't feel safe.
00:30This is the house, this is the house, this is the house, this is the house.
00:36Now we are going to look at our situation. We are in the forest, we are going to go to
00:41the forest, we are going to kill each other.
00:45Our children are going to kill each other.
00:48What are you going to do, where are you going to stay?
00:50Now we are in the forest, we are going to see what happened.
00:56Riyad and his family have also been sleeping in a tent.
01:00For them the ceasefire means they can go back.
01:02What are you going to do?
01:03I'm going to the house, I'm going to the house, I'm going to kill them in my house.
01:07I'm going to kill them, I don't have to hold them.
01:10We are not alone, we are not alone, we are holding them here, we are my family.
01:15We are both here and here.
01:17Riyadh's wife, Amira, tells me she's optimistic about the ceasefire.
01:27I decided to go and see for myself.
01:34Inside the heavily damaged southern suburbs of Beirut, signs of life are beginning to reappear, with many people returning.
01:42We came back to the disaster, we came to see the things that happened to us.
01:48We will continue to work, we will continue to get back in a new way.
01:53I'm sure it's happy, but as I told you, there's a disaster.
01:56There's a disaster, there's a disaster, there's a disaster, there's a disaster.
02:01It's not a disaster, it's a disaster.
02:04But are you going to live every day in the disaster?
02:06Of course, of course, and the day is in the house, in God.
02:10The ceasefire seems to be holding in Beirut and its suburbs so far, but not in southern Lebanon near the
02:15border with Israel.
02:17The Lebanese Armed Forces, or LAF, said it recorded several ceasefire violations by Israel.
02:23In a statement on X, the LAF urged residents to delay returning to southern villages and towns, saying the violations
02:30continued to pose a threat to civilians.
02:33But many southerners have already began making their way back to their hometowns since the ceasefire took effect at midnight
02:40local time.
02:43Israel's war has so far killed more than 2,100 people in Lebanon and forced around 1.2 million from
02:50their homes, according to Lebanese authorities.
02:53Many are hoping the ceasefire will last far beyond its announced 10-day timeframe.
03:02Israel's war has so far, yet are the ones that have been abandoned for the past.
03:03Israel has so high-pitched and marginalized rivers through the past.
03:03Israel has so high-pitched and been abandoned for those since the past.
