Hello and welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service.

We're coming to you live from London. I'm James Menendez.

And our big story today is the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah that came into force in the early hours of this morning.

As is often the way with these truces, there was a significant uptick in violence just before it began,

but so far it does seem to be holding. It follows more than 13 months of fighting between Israel

and the Iran-backed militia that began the day after the Hamas attacks of October the 7th.

That prompted tens of thousands of people to flee their homes on both sides of the border

and thousands to die, particularly in the past two months, when Israel began its bombardment of Hezbollah positions

and sent in troops across the border. Well, under the agreement, those troops have 60 days to head back into Israel.

Hezbollah also has to move its fighters and weapons about 30

kilometres north of the border to the other side of the Latani River in southern Lebanon.

And it'll be up to the Lebanese army, the UN force that was monitoring the last truce back in 2006,

as well as the US and France to make sure it sticks.

Well, Nuzaz has been hearing from two people displaced by the past year of fighting.

Sarah Ramal is a content creator on Instagram.

She was displaced from her Lebanese village right on the border with Israel.

What does she think of the ceasefire?

I don't trust that the ceasefire will continue because I just don't trust anything

Israeli say. Hasbullah isn't just an organization of people who have goals they want to achieve.

Hasolah is a resistance and when you attack people, they will resist. That's an idea and you can't kill ideas.

I am very confident that I will go back to my village.

My village is fully bombed right now, but we are going back and we are rebuilding it
