Their objective, they said, to guarantee Israel's security by destroying Hezbollah's military capabilities.

I'm Karine Torbay, a BBC correspondent in Lebanon.

There's a fragile ceasefire now in Beirut.

It's meant to be across the whole country.

But in reality, the conflict goes on in the south.

It's estimated about a million people have been displaced by the war.

I've been meeting some of the many Lebanese people who've had to abandon their homes and whose lives are now on hold.

Rashana Pshara Atme lives with her two daughters in a neighborhood of Tyre.

As well as Freya, she has another daughter, Jennifer, who's 15.

On the 1st of March, Roshana was at home.

Her husband, a foreign aid worker, was abroad.

When hostilities with Israel escalated that night, most people living close to the border backed up and left.

But Roshana was oblivious to what was going on.

Five million people live in Lebanon.

One in five of them have had to move out of their homes because of the most recent conflict.

But it's not the first time people in Lebanon have been displaced within their own country.

Beirut is home for 25-year-old Yasmina.

But in 2024, home certainly didn't feel safe for Yasmina.

They had rented another apartment outside of Beirut to the north, somewhere thought to be safer.

Yasmina remembers packing up to go.
