Kat Lonsdorff, NPR News, Beirut.
NPR's Kat Lonsdorf reports from Beirut.
Hussein Farhat fled his home early in the war and has been staying in central Beirut.
He told NPR now he might venture back to his home and shop to check on them, but he won't be staying for good yet.
It's heartbreaking to just visit your home and then leave again, he says.
But for many of the more than one million people in Lebanon displaced by this war, they don't have homes to go back to.
Israel remains occupying whole villages in the south to create what it calls a buffer zone to keep Hezbollah from firing rockets at its population.
After the ceasefire was announced yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated, quote, we are not leaving.
Kat Lonsdorf, NPR News, Beirut.
Yeah, well, so far it seems to be holding.
The ceasefire went into effect at midnight here last night, so we're really just settling into the first full day.
In the hours before, there was a barrage of attacks from both sides.
Israel carried out a wave of airstrikes in Lebanon's south.
Hezbollah fired several rockets into northern Israel.
But since then, things have been relatively quiet.
In terms of how people are feeling, there is a little hope.
You know, a ceasefire is always welcome in war.
But people also realize this is temporary.
So it's a cautious optimism.
Yeah, Hezbollah is the Iran-backed militia that operates in Lebanon.
