Because at one hand, I was happy that I\u2019m going back. But at the other hand, I was afraid. Afraid maybe it won\u2019t be real. So basically, this is the Qasmiyeh river over there. The Lebanese Army has fixed the road here. It\u2019s an old road for us to pass by. It\u2019s the only road for us to go back to south of Lebanon and specifically to Tyre. This is our land. So that\u2019s why we are not scared of coming back, although we know it\u2019s not 100 percent safe. So I\u2019m a little bit shocked. But at the same time, I know we can go through this. I want to clean my room so I can sleep on my bed. Today I\u2019m going to sleep on my bed, hopefully, in south of Lebanon. Thank God that my house is still standing.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<header class=\"css-jgknzh\">\n<div class=\"css-1gn3fip\">\n<div class=\"css-vabf4\">\n<div class=\"css-1331l0f\"><nyt-betamax class=\"css-wkvudm\"><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/player-0.2.40-CnxAEwcy.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-cover><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/cover-0.2.40-eTrf0IGY.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-poster><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/poster-0.2.40-BdueiXaE.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/friscotimes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Displaced-Family-Returns-Home-Following-Truce-Between-Israel-and-Lebanon.jpg\" data-testid=\"betamax-poster\"   fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"_poster_13tnt_20\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-poster><\/nyt-betamax-cover><nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/overlay-controls-0.2.40-DTyJF-yz.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/scrubber-0.2.40-allGBXvP.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><\/nyt-betamax><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1r2245g\"><span class=\"css-hple31\">Ghia Hajo, 25, returned to her home in Tyre, a city in southern Lebanon that Israel has bombarded with strikes, following the announcement of a 10-day cease-fire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By Jamie Leventhal and Monika Cvorak<\/p>\n<p>April 17, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: Displaced Family Returns Home Following Truce Between Israel and Lebanon transcript Back transcript Displaced Family Returns Home Following Truce Between Israel and Lebanon Ghia Hajo, 25, returned&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":968,"featured_media":8534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
