No less than 3,823 folks killed, greater than 1.2 million displaced and estimated financial losses of $8.5bn.
Lebanon’s prime minister is looking Hezbollah’s almost 14-month battle with Israel the “cruellest section” within the nation’s historical past.
The ceasefire gives hope for a return to peace and an opportunity for folks to rebuild their lives.

And the way fragile will the state of affairs be within the subsequent 60 days, when Israeli troops and Hezbollah fighters withdraw from southern Lebanon?
