Israel-Hezbollah truce holds, displaced Lebanese begin to journey home

The agreement, a rare diplomatic feat in a region racked by conflict, ended the deadliest confrontation between Israel and the Iran-backed militant group in years.

A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah held on Wednesday under a deal brokered by the US and France as people in both countries began returning to homes in the border area shattered by 14 months of fighting.
