In the aftermath of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, displaced Lebanese citizens in Beirut are expressing cautious optimism about the prospect of returning to their homes in the south.

According to residents who spoke to Al Jazeera, the decision to return home is not one that will be taken lightly, with many choosing to wait and observe whether the ceasefire holds before making any moves.

This cautious approach underscores the deep-seated uncertainty and mistrust that pervades the community, highlighting the complexity of the conflict and the challenges that lie ahead in rebuilding and restoring stability to the region.
