Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire appears to hold and Lebanese begin streaming south to their homes

A ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah appeared to be holding on Wednesday, as residents in cars heaped with belongings streamed back toward southern Lebanon despite warnings from the Israeli and Lebanese military that they stay away. If it holds, the ceasefire would bring an end to nearly 14 months of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. While some Lebanese were celebrating the deal, some in Israel were concerned it didn't go far enough. The deal would not address the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
