Photos: Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire begins after a year of fighting

Al Jazeera  

Smoke rising from the rubble of multistorey buildings in Beirut. Israel and Hezbollah began a ceasefire on Wednesday, but even if it holds, the devastation caused by more than 13 months of fighting will linger for years. Hezbollah’s rocket, drone and missile fire emptied out communities across northern Israel, and longer-range drones and missiles hit the northern city of Haifa and the outskirts of Tel Aviv. The deal requires Hezbollah to end its armed presence in southern Lebanon and Israeli troops to return to Israel. It is widely thought to have been behind an attack earlier that month in which pagers and walkie-talkies belonging to Hezbollah members exploded, killing dozens of people, including civilians, and wounding thousands.
