A Lebanon ceasefire agreement came into effect early Wednesday, prompting Lebanese internally displaced persons to begin returning to their town and villages.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported that as the ceasefire began at dawn, residents of the south and Beqaa Valley began returning home.
Traffic on roads leading from Beirut to these areas was so uneasy as families were returning to their hometowns, NNA added.
Meanwhile, the Lebanese Army Command said in a statement that with the implementation of ceasefire, the army is taking necessary steps to complete its deployment in the south as mandated by the Lebanese Government.
The army urged people to delay returning to the frontline villages and towns where the Israeli occupation had advanced, pending their withdrawal under the ceasefire agreement.
It emphasized the importance of following military instructions to ensure safety, urging people to be cautious regarding unexplored or suspicious objects left behind by the Israeli occupation.
Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati welcomed in a statement the ceasefire agreement, while Lebanese Minister of Public Works and Transportation Ali Hamieh announced that the crews began clearing roads in the southern suburbs preparing for a safe return.
Lebanon witnessed the most intense airstrikes on Tuesday since the beginning of the war in September, as Israeli occupation targeted various areas including the capital.
Lebanon has witnessed relentless airstrikes by the Israeli occupation since September 23, causing significant human and material losses and displacing hundreds of thousands of people.
