Many of the more than one million people displaced in Lebanon during this war have headed back to the south, where much of the fighting was happening, despite warnings not to.

Calling the ceasefire an achievement, President Aoun said his one determined and clear mission was to save his country and his people.
Lebanon will not be anyone's battlefield, he said.
He said that he had three objectives going forward, to end Israeli military aggression, a withdrawal of the Israeli military occupation, and for there to be one unified Lebanon.
The Lebanese government and the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah have been at odds about direct negotiations with Israel.
Israel, meanwhile, has said it will remain occupying a large swath of Lebanon's south throughout the ceasefire and possibly beyond.
More than a million people have been displaced by this war in Lebanon, and many cannot return home.
