STORYLINE:
Displaced people started returning to the coastal city of Tyre early on Wednesday, defying an Israeli military warning to stay away from previously evacuated areas.
Sporadic celebratory gunfire could be heard at a main roundabout in the city, as people returning honked the horns of cars — some piled with mattresses — and residents cheered.
It comes as Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah militants began a ceasefire on Wednesday in a major step toward ending nearly 14 months of fighting.
Hussein Sweidan said he sees the ceasefire as a victory for Hezbollah.
“This is a moment of victory, pride and honour for us, for the Shiite sect, and for all of Lebanon,” he said.
Ahmad Husseini said returning to southern Lebanon was an “indescribable" feeling and praised Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, who led Lebanon’s negotiations.
Husseini, who earlier fled a town near the coastal city, spoke to The Associated Press while in his car with family members.
