Watch: Excitement as people return to southern Lebanon


Thousands of people have started returning to their homes in southern Lebanon, after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect at 04:00 local time (02:00 GMT) on Wednesday.

The BBC’s Middle East correspondent, Hugo Bachega, is at the main highway between Beirut and the south, where cars are packed with families and their belongings.

Their return happens despite warnings from Israeli and Lebanese authorities not to go back to the area now.
