Just after the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and the Israeli regime took effect on Wednesday at 4:00 am (local time), dozens of cars were seen heading south, as Lebanese citizens swiftly made their way back to the homes they had been forcibly displaced from by the Israeli occupation.
The return marked a poignant moment of relief for many, as families, who had endured weeks of hardship, began the journey to reclaim their lives and rebuild in the aftermath of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.
Citizens were also seen heading toward the Bekaa Valley, which has endured hundreds of strikes in the past few months, many of which targeted homes, massacring entire families.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Tuesday that the Israeli cabinet had approved a US-backed ceasefire agreement.
Israeli media reported details of the agreement, indicating that it "includes Israel refraining from any military hostilities against Lebanon" and that Israeli forces will gradually withdraw from the southern "Blue Line" in Lebanon, over a period of up to 60 days.
Furthermore, the agreement stipulates that both Lebanon and "Israel" will adhere to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1701.
