ALBAWABA - Massive cars were spotted returning to southern Lebanon following the ceasefire which was agreed between Hezbollah and Israel on November 26.
The highway linking Beirut with south Lebanon witnessed massive traffic as thousands of people carried their bags and belongings to return to their homes.
The Associated Press (AP) reported that traffic was also seen at the northern entrance of the port city of Sidon.
The video also documented that some cars had attached photos showing support for the Iranian-backed group either showing Hezbollah fighters or the group’s former leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by an Israeli strike on Southern Beirut's superb on July 31, 2024.
Many Lebanese people hailed the ceasefire deal between the two sides, which came into effect at 4 a.m. local time Wednesday morning.
The ceasefire deal, which occurred with the assistance of the US, ended almost 14 months of war, which began the day after the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

The agreement marks a 60-day transition period, during which the Israeli army is expected to withdraw all soldiers from southern Lebanon.
In addition, the Lebanese army will deploy about 5,000 troops south of the Litani river, including at 33 posts along the border with Israel.
