Hezbollah is backed by Iran and largely answers to the state.

The sense here from many people, though, is that if talks fall apart between the U.S.

and Iran, that will almost certainly mean that this ceasefire falls apart, too.

Yeah, I'm in Tyre, which is a city on the Mediterranean.

It's about 12 miles from Israel's northern border.

Everywhere you go, there are signs of destruction from Israeli airstrikes or drone strikes, whole buildings crumpled to the ground.

Just because there's a ceasefire, that doesn't mean that life can return to normal for a lot of people here.

Israel is still occupying a huge swath of land further south from here all along the border to keep Hezbollah from attacking Israel.

Many of the more than one million people who were displaced in this war can't go home.

I talked to 50-year-old Zainab Mahdi, who is still living in a school set up for displaced people.

She's from one of the towns that Israel is now occupying.

She can't go home.

But even if she could, she said she's heard her house has been demolished and that most of the town is gone as well.

I feel a lot of anger, a lot of sadness, but also fear, she told me.

Fear because who knows how long it will be until we can go back.

Will it be us or our children who are able to go?

That seems to be one of the big questions here.

Even if this ceasefire extends, how long will Israel stay occupying the land?

Last time Israel occupied southern Lebanon, it did so for nearly two decades.

Israel has said it's prepared to stay for months or even years.
