This mass homecoming follows a hard-fought ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, marking a significant milestone in Lebanon's resilience and determination to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.
The ceasefire, which took effect on Wednesday, came after Israel endured substantial losses in recent confrontations.
Lebanese broadcaster al-Mayadeen confirmed the refugees’ courageous return, defying warnings from the Israeli military to avoid the southern territories.
The sight of hundreds of vehicles making their way back south became a powerful symbol of hope and triumph for a nation long burdened by conflict.
In Beirut, the capital city, jubilant celebrations erupted with gunfire and cheering crowds filling the streets.
The moment marked not just an end to immediate hostilities but a broader assertion of Lebanon's right to its land and sovereignty.
The refugees’ return is not only a physical reclamation of territory but a profound statement of resilience, underscoring the Lebanese people's refusal to remain displaced.
As southern Lebanon comes alive once again with the return of its people, this historic homecoming shows the power of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity.
