Early on Wednesday,after the ceasefire in Iran was announced,many displaced people sleeping in tents on the streets of Beirut and the coastal city of Sidon began packing their belongings in preparation to return to their homes.
That was before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed the military would press on in Lebanon.

‘But we’ll be targeted if we go home,’ Mr Zaydan said.
