Weeks of intense conflict left widespread destruction across the region, with many remaining hesitant to return permanently amid fears that the fragile truce could collapse. Rima Mrad, displaced from a frontline border village in southern Lebanon, said she had one goal – to return to the land "where our honor is." In some of the hardest-hit areas, entire neighborhoods bore the scars of repeated Israeli strikes. Shops were in ruins, homes reduced to rubble and vital infrastructure severely damaged. Residents vowed to rebuild. "We're not afraid," said Jamila Bassam, another returning displaced resident. The ceasefire, which took effect on April 16, marked the first direct diplomatic engagement between Israel and Lebanon in decades. 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:42:27 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/d78d9291-4041-4cb6-b17b-420634813214 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
