of them and the last few weeks when israel has been carrying out this ground offensive in the south of lebanond people not to rush back to their homes in the south, saying there still was this israeli military presence there. one of the mayors of a northern town warned as a result of what happened when he said he has seen 12 hezbollah operatives and there should not have been their need for these warning shots to be fired. —— operatives and there should not have been the need for these warning shots to be fired. he said for him it was evidence of the agreement israel had reached was a disgraceful one. thank you for that. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega is in sidon. this is the main highway between beirut and the south of the country, and this ceasefire has been in place for hours now. and almost immediately after this ceasefire came into effect, thousands of people have started the journey down south and this has been the case for hours here. there is a massive trafficjam here with, you know, families, uh, you know, trying to go back to towns and villages in the south of the country

would see the withdrawal of s ceasefire we would see the withdrawal of 5 really troops from the south of lebanonoval of hezbollah fighters and weapons from that part of the country south of the river which is just part of the country south of the river which isjust 30 kilometres from the blue line, the unofficial border between lebanon and israel. i think there has been a lot of focus here on the implementation of this deal. 0ne here on the implementation of this deal. one of the key point here is that there will be international involvement in a monitoring committee to monitor the info mentation of this deal and also from what we're hearing from media reports in israel, there will be an american letter to israel guaranteeing israel the right to attack lebanon if hezbollah is seen to be violating this deal. this is unlikely to be announced today, this is not part of the deal that has been agreed with the lebanese authorities because obviously this is a very controversial topic here in lebanon because this is seen as a violation of the country's sovereignty. here in lebanon there was a lot of opt

south border of israel which brought about the terrible deaths of thousands of israelis, innocent civilians, and hezbollah decided to assist hamas by starting a war against israel in the south of lebanon we are talking about an organisation which has been severely beaten in the last year and lost most of the higher echelons of its leadership, so the question is will they understand now that it is time to think about a different direction altogether and acquiesce to the violence, or will they try to make the first possible opportunity to start again? i really hope they won't. ,, . start again? i really hope they won't. ., ., won't. do you have faith in this monitoring _ won't. do you have faith in this monitoring system - won't. do you have faith in | this monitoring system that seems to have been put in place, that the us is very confident in the comments if there is a violation they will assess it first before it is passed on to israel to respond, or do you think any violation from hezbollah would result in israeli response? i from hezbollah would result in israeli response?— israeli response? i wish i could have _ israeli response? i wish i could have a _ israeli response? i wish i

completely for sure at this point, but the information i received is that unifil will remain in the south of lebanonnot the israelis will hold to the deal over the 60—day period and thereafter. i personally think they will and i think that has everything to do with the fact that there is a trump administration coming in, and i don't think the trump administration coming and wants to have a war erupt in the first week or so. i do think this deal will hold, at least these are the indications right now. i don't think it pertains anything good for gaza, i don't think it's bad news, but i don't think there's any good news coming out of this. on the contrary, i think we'll see a lot more destruction and pain they are. lot more destruction and pain the are. ., , they are. you put your finger on one of— they are. you put your finger on one of the issues - they are. you put your finger on one of the issues within l they are. you put your finger l on one of the issues within the proposal, which is the referral process. they can decide whether there's been a breach of the terms, and yet from prime minister yet

still, you know, some people already moved from the south of lebanon even though israel warned them notause hezbollah is supporting hamas in gaza and in this case if there is an attack on israel in this case, it will be seen as betraying hamas and would put pressure on hezbollah but hezbollah is in a week position after the assassination of his commander. the nerves are whether it holds or not and it is a problem. find or not and it is a problem. and lookin: or not and it is a problem. and looking at _ or not and it is a problem. and looking at the _ or not and it is a problem. and looking at the terms _ or not and it is a problem. and looking at the terms of this agreement, of course, we took weeks and weeks of negotiation, on what basis can israel attack again? on what basis can israel attack auain? , ~ ~ again? they said, like, mr nazir the _ again? they said, like, mr nazir the prime _ again? they said, like, mr nazir the prime minister l again? they said, like, mr. nazir the prime minister said any strike from hezbollah they will strike back, if there is any regrouping of hezbollah

now for the time being the is really army, has announced a nighttime curfew in the south of lebanon. what does that mean for the residents that have just begun returning home? so we seen again the mass of traffic today, from people going to the styles, trying to return to their homes, or at least check on the state of their homes. of course, for these people that means that they could be stuck. now, some people might, it's not a rice that the villages where they want that we are heading to due to the heavy traffic, or they just want to check on their house and the on now stuck in their house. that is, a might not inhabitable but here in melbourne and people are really angry about these curfew, or there's a lot of negative moods to was this courtesy, some people here say what is the ceasefire about is the we now have a situation where that is where any government is making rules about the movement at um, in lebanese territory, and is really making rules for the lebanese people and how they're allowed to behave in the country. it will be a correspondence, stella minute and beaver. thank

health ministry has said six medics have been killed in multiple israeli air strikes to the south of lebanon and the world health organization in the wake of that has said it is deeply concerned about what it calls rising attacks on health workers in lebanon. if we look at what is happening in gaza, as you mentioned, we had reports of that air strike on the refugee camp in nuseirat in central gas. reports initially of ten people, now 13 people killed there. it was at the entrance of the school building, we are told. the united nations have set in general that children in gaza are paying the price for a war they did not start. our correspondent fergal keane has compiled this report.— compiled this report. everyone scattered- _ compiled this report. everyone scattered. because _ compiled this report. everyone scattered. because the - compiled this report. everyone scattered. because the israeli| scattered. because the israeli army ordered them to. because death was everywhere. and it didn't matter who you were or what age, you had to go the photographer probably and israeli soldiers, captured

hezbollah will be north of the litani river and that the lebanese military will deploy to the south of lebanond we welcome their presence in the region, together with unifil forces. and i think the most challenging part is what will happen if, what will happen if hezbollah will start to infiltrate again the region, or to bring a weapons and ammunition into the villages of southern lebanon. and i think that is the challenge for us. it's very important to make it clear to all the parties that we will not sit idly by. we will not allow hezbollah to regroup and to rebuild their capabilities right on the fence with israel. let's speak to gina abercrombie—winstanley, non—resident senior fellow at the atlantic council. hello and welcome to the programme. so your thoughts at news that we could be close to some form of agreement on the ceasefire deal?— ceasefire deal? thank you. well, it is _ ceasefire deal? thank you. well, it is what _ ceasefire deal? thank you. well, it is what we - ceasefire deal? thank you. well, it is what we have i ceasefire deal? thank you. well, it is what we have all been hop

israeli military, their tanks have fired several rounds towards lebanese villages and towns in the south of lebanongers who were coming back too soon. israel has imposed a curfew, an overnight curfew, on the area of southern lebanon between the litani river and the israel border. and they don't want to see any movement in that space during that time. remember that this is still very early days and it's a phased withdrawal. hezbollah are due to move north of the litani river. israeli forces are supposed to move south of the border. now, the lebanese army has accused israel of "multiple "violations", in their words. israel says that its warplanes struck a hezbollah weapons dump containing medium range rockets. but so far — at least in theory — it is holding. no—one is talking about pulling out of the deal, because the penalty for that would just be so big. nobody wants to see a resumption of these massive air strikes on beirut and baalbek and southern lebanon. they want this deal to work, to hold. of course, none of this resolves what's going on in gaza, and really, that is where the push is now, bec

so let's attack in the south of lebanon and besides own districts, i mean, this is an area that has seen repeated attacks over the past few weeks. a better idea or a side on the inside of the south, towards tire. and obviously beyond that as being the target of his right to the attacks of a recent weeks, we understand that at least 7 people were killed in this attack around 15 kilometers from side on me. it's difficult to say how many civilians are still in these areas. as we've been reporting, although many of these attacks come off the x ray, the fullest evacuation, or there's many of the people that we speak to, to all the victims of, of those attacks and have to play many of them injured. tell us that they often don't get those warnings because the phone and telephone networks the, the, the phone networks at the end of the time that those warnings are issued. so. ready the attack in, in the south, just another indication that is rails a tax on that area in the south of the country continue. and it's also, i was pointing out that today was one of the heaviest, seen so far in terms of

the headquarters of the irish defense forces, many of whom are serving as part of the human peacekeeping force in south lebanon. around this area, very much a commuter town for dublin. many people have been living here because they have been pushed out of the capital city in terms of the cost of housing, but there is also a cost-of-living crisis here in newbridge. rising house prices and general affordability are some of the highest electricity prices in the eu and indeed the price of housing is among the highest as well. the imf has estimated it would take the average irish household 15 years to save up to buy a home of just 100 square meters. that gives you some idea of just how expensive things are. those issues right to the forefront of people's minds ahead of polling day tomorrow, but let's get the views now in terms of how they are thinking, what is going through their minds ahead of polling day. i am joined by catherine and noreen. noreen, you have your finger on the pulse in terms of living here for young people from all generations. what are the issues of concern to you as you are deciding who to vote

all the south of lebanon has been destroyed. fully destroyed. the eu's head of foreign policy.t everyone, whether journalists, commentators or analysts or even politicians who are likely to be in the know are saying that we are just a few hours from such an announcement and that the announcement and that the announcement will probably come out of several places. the us, probably the israelis will announce it here as well in lebanon there will be an announcement. so there is a belief that this will happen, but we have to remember that we have come very close to such optimism regarding a ceasefire in gaza months ago, there were even celebrations in gaza, the way we saw celebrations yesterday among some of the displaced lebanese who are eager of course to go back to their homes or in villages, but then that proved not to be the case. so there is also caution alongside this optimism. there is the idea here, especially that of the israeli prime minister cannot be trusted, benjamin netanyahu, that he has manoeuvred in the past and he might do it again. but at the same time, people ar

however, it has been two months of heavy bombardment in lebanon, in southern of beirut, in the south many people, overi million, displaced and left, living in shelters, they want to check on their properties, on what is left of their properties. i visited one area this afternoon in the southern of their and in one square, one part of town, there were at least eight buildings reduced to rubble. still, people came in to visit what remained of their lives, and they stood on the robbers of their own homes with mixed feelings of happiness that this war is ended but also frustration about who is going to pick up the pieces and rebuild the city, rebuild their homes and pay for the destruction they have lived through, and hoping that this cease—fire will continue and go back to square one. cease-fire will continue and go back to square one.— cease-fire will continue and go back to square one. thank you, and let us _ back to square one. thank you, and let us go — back to square one. thank you, and let us go to _ back to square one. thank you, and let us go to jerusalem - back to square one. th

the deal entails in terms of the phased approach to the withdrawal of israeli troops from the south of lebanonnderstand within 60 days israeli troops would withdraw from the south. hezbollah the military u militant group backed by iran would move north of the litani river, logistically, that would involve some complications because it would have to move its equipment and its fighters as well. then the regular lebanese army, the lebanese army of the central government, would occupy that space. in the south of lebanon. essentially, would be sandwiched between the two forces. and you mentioned the implementation, and that is really where the challenges lie because israel through its prime minister and other officials, israel has said and repeated over the last several days that it reserves the right to strike back at hezbollah if it believes that hezbollah is violating the terms of the agreement, and hezbollah, of course, remains a fighting force. by all accounts, a much more capable and militarily strong fighting force than the regular lebanese army. what happens if there are infractions and vio

progressively built up infrastructure south of the litani river even though un security council resolution 1701 effectively gave the lebanese armed forces the monopoly on force in lebanonwal, particularly south of the litani river. iam not particularly south of the litani river. i am not saying there are indications that the lebanese armed forces have expert —— exponentially increase their capacity all the willingness, so the enforcement by third parties will likely be a sticking point, particularly when moving from agreement to implementation. for when moving from agreement to implementation.— implementation. for the time bein: , implementation. for the time being. meghan _ implementation. for the time being, meghan sir _ implementation. for the time being, meghan sir cliff, - implementation. for the time j being, meghan sir cliff, thank you for your analysis and insight and we have much more on the website too, we have contacts, analysis and background to what is a complicated story and we expect that israeli cabinet meeting where they will be considering that deal. much more online and much more here on bbc news. another breaking news story, the governor of egypt's

so you feel you in peacekeepers operating in the south of lebanon and released the video and pictures of what they say was in his rightly bulldozer and to excavate to this that they say damage to a positive offense. so one of the bases in the south of lebanon is really saying that it had no part in this operation, but so we spoke to the deputy spokes person for you, and it failed the statistics that she gave to us pretty average in terms of the level of intimidation and danger, that unit fail of facing in that area. she's saying that 40 times on 40 occasions, but if you feel property has been damaged and people have been injured, members of a beautiful force have been injured. she says, the majority of those is difficult to know who is responsible of those cases, but she says on at least 8 occasions, it was clearly obvious that that israel was responsible. she went on to say that there were 29 sites where unit fail or operating near the blue line that as well has requested the unit fil full. she's evacuate from that area and she makes the point that this is a clear violation of intern

there are thousands and thousands of displaced shi'ites who came from the south of beirut and the south of lebanon area is now really overpopulated, and you can feel some sort of tension coming up. it's still contained so far, but there are so many questions to be posed for how long this war is going to last, and the day after, who's going to put the money to rebuild these houses in a month's time, ora bit more than a month's time? 1.2, or overi.2 million people were displaced. so, there is a lot of tension, there is a lot of need, you know, hygiene issues. now winter is starting. yesterday was the first day of real winter where it was pouring rain all day. people are really fixated on when is this going to end, and how they're going to go back to some sort of normality. how badly damaged has hezbollah been by the israeli attacks? you can look at a party that's been established for a0 years and functioning within the society. it has some regional support from iran. it's hard to see that it's going to be dismantled completely after this blow to its leadership. it must be thinking of regrouping, reg

of southern lebanon. lebanon's health ministry says twelve people have been killed in israeli strikes in south lebanon, including najat saliba is a member of lebanon's parliament. she's been telling us her fellow lawmakers would welcome a deal. it seems to us that hezbollah is now ready to do a peace deal and separate also from gaza. and from the statements that we have seen or heard from some leaders of hezbollah, that they are ready to, or have negotiated a deal where they have accepted the implementation of the un resolution 1701, with no conditions. for us, hezbollah really went to war or pushed lebanon into a war that we did not want, and we do hope that hezbollah not only agrees on a ceasefire deal with israel but, at the same time, turns his arms to the hands of the lebanese state and army forces. and we do believe that only the armed forces in the country has to be the lebanese army forces, who israel is really ready to uphold the security of the country and take care of the sovereignty of the state. danny danon, israel's ambassador to the united nations. and that hezbollah will not come back to southern

attacks in and around areas where you have unifil, the united nations special force for the south of lebanon, from the israelis has been quite intense over the last month. in particular, there's been an increased effort on the israeli side to get those forces to be removed from lebanon, even though they are there by united nations security council mandate. um, so i think what has to happen in order for the israelis to sign the deal is for external powers to make it clear to them that they have to uphold international law. and un resolutions. um, and unfortunately, at the moment, the power that is most able to do that seems unwilling to do that, i.e., the united states. >> do you think they're after a very wide buffer zone basically between them and hezbollah i think that they're after a wide buffer zone. >> i also think that they're looking for, um de jure as opposed to de facto, but de jure permission for israeli forces to move into the south of lebanon whenever they see fit. um, whether on the ground or in the air, i.e. in airspace. um, and i think that that's going to be a no go for the l

which means 60 days of no more fighting in lebanon in theory, during which israel's forces will withdraw from the southum will be filled by a bolstered national lebanon army which has historically been much weaker than hezbollah, and the blue helmet troops of unifil, the united nations interim force in lebanon who have been operating there for a long time but have been so far largely ineffective stopping hezbollah from rebuilding and firing rockets in northern israel. it still, i would say, a fragile deal that would be quite easy for somebody to sabotage and there are plenty of doubters here, but for now, it looks like it's going ahead and that's got to be good news certainly for the people of lebanon who have just been in during some of the biggest air strikes in all the weeks of this work.— strikes in all the weeks of this work. �* ., this work. and you say fragile, frank, this work. and you say fragile, frank. but _ this work. and you say fragile, frank, but he _ this work. and you say fragile, frank, but he was _ this work. and you say fragile, frank, but he was actually - frank, but he was actuall

israeli military, their tanks have fired several rounds towards lebanese villages and towns in the south of lebanon were coming back too soon. israel has imposed a curfew, an overnight curfew, on the area of southern lebanon between the litani river and the israel border. and they don't want to see any movement in that space during that time. remember that this is still very early days and it's a phased withdrawal. hezbollah are due to move north of the litani river. israeli forces are supposed to move south of the border. now, the lebanese army has accused israel of "multiple violations", in their words. israel says that its warplanes struck a hezbollah weapons dump containing medium range rockets. but so far — at least in theory — it is holding. no—one is talking about pulling out of the deal, because the penalty for that would just be so big. nobody wants to see a resumption of these massive air strikes on beirut and baalbek and southern lebanon. they want this deal to work, to hold. of course, none of this resolves what's going on in gaza, and really, that is where the push is now, because the

appetite for war far outweighs its desire for peace. saint bus route of the old 0 and in the south of lebanon is really strikes of k o. 2 fishermen near the city of tyre is arouse ground operation is up against intense resistance. some hezbollah fighters. hashem has moved from ty, where life has become increasingly difficult. i want to use report contains distressing images from this time. this is as close as you can get to with this in depth without being in stock. and they were just all the energy efficient regulators on the beach each day, they cost the next hoping to catch enough fish to sell to the dwindling dumbbells presidents who remain in this world on city. what then is ready? drones brought the story to a violent an abrupt and in sore pyre. a city called bible environment. it's not just the story of 2 lives, shot to by the war. it's a city who bears the wounds of death and destruction. smoke rises from drop a signal of tragedy, while many of its residents have fled in search of the safety of the one that is that another. how did they wound us to leave? but i caught my husband is si

tell us about that incident and what you're seeing in the south of lebanon right now. well 1st of all, let me start with the latest strike. i think it shows while behind me, booms of smoke can be seen now and this is the 1st. busy strike today in the outskirts of fire, the city of time. now earlier there was a joint strike just 30 minutes meets us from where we are standing from uh our live location here on the beach. a 2 official mountain were killed and then is rarely drone strike that i as their lives. these people used to come on daily basis to the beach, throws out a net and catch some feet, fish. and so to i, but it is still in the in town today they would hit with that is really a joint strike and they were killed just in front of us. and this is not isolated from all the other attacks that are taking place in this area. and all the areas around the rock row 7 on just saw zane's reporting from the roots. also, you know, off the docs yesterday here, keys to put on medics in this area, in tar with killed 3 other problem ethics to what se, asia z and what also kill

we left in which time the is ready, minute, 3 onto the ccr agreement is able to stay in the south of lebanon. and so those forces that are that very larry about people getting close to them. and of course that for keeping people away, keeping split system civilians away is ready, ministry staying safety. and this is something that we should expect, i imagine over the next couple of months to see quite a lot as the lebanese army move into position and take surface various responsibilities from these really minute 3 here. then a post process back over that for the end is right. and when one of the key objectives for the, as riley's of conducting this will with hezbollah was in order to get its people back home to the north. is there any indication, a tool that is riley's now, that the war stopped planned on returning back home to the note? but you know, that was a small number of people that stayed in some of the communities in the no take the city like the us. mona bought 60000 were evacuated and some of the local leaders may, as of smaller towns have been saying, disagreement does not give u

of the aid. lebanon has accused israel of a "systematic destruction" of villages close to its border with israel. the idf has been striking villages and towns in the southael says its targeting hezbollah infrastructure hidden in civilian areas. bbc arabic�*s carine torbey has been speaking to some of those who have seen their homes hit, and sent this report from beirut. calm, and then, in a split second,it calm, and then, in a split second, it is gone. these controlled explosions destroyed several buildings, homes, livelihoods. israeli forces have been carrying out mass detonations in towns across southern lebanon since they invaded last month. translation: ~ ., . ., translation: watching the video tore my heart _ translation: watching the video tore my heart to — translation: watching the video tore my heart to pieces, _ translation: watching the video tore my heart to pieces, as - translation: watching the video tore my heart to pieces, as if - tore my heart to pieces, as if the blast was happening inside me. , ., ., the blast was happening inside me. , . ., ., , me. the first village that was almost wiped _ me. the first village that was almost wiped

you know, a, john was in the south of lebanon and they're coming up against challenges every day and incidences of violence, whether they be targeted or know. now with respect to the incidence today, we understand this video footage the unit filip released of this. you can see one of the excavations one of the to excavate is that you to feel say we're involved in this instance. they also say a bulldozer was that i do so they say that they destroyed for these boulders just destroyed a part of the offense. we believe is, is part of the unit fil base a picture and it says it's got absolutely it has a had absolutely nothing to do with this particular incident. but as you say, it is one of, of it is just the latest incident. it was only on thursday where they were 5 unit fail members who were injured in an attack on a convoy close to side and they were free civilians killed in that attack. and another 3 soldiers. so they sort of thing is happening every day. and bear in mind is, let's keep in mind that, you know, if it was supposed to be there in a peacekeeping position, they've been there

. >> and the latest that we're seeing from the south of lebanon is the lebanese army arriving into a village there. to the applause of the residents. now we saw earlier in the day the lebanese army and a big long convoy leaving the environs of beirut and now apparently making it to the south. so this is the beginning elements of what the lebanese authorities were speaking about when they said there will be 10,000 lebanese army forces going in to ensure that stability along the border as as hezbollah pulls back. this is very early days. the idf still there inside of inside of lebanon, and i think there's a big contrast here. while we've seen lebanese civilians racing to get back as far as they can to their homes in the south of lebanon, israel, it's a it's a different picture. in the north, people are really reticent about going back to their homes already. in fact, they feel that the deal has let them down, that this is a surrender position by the government, that it's gone back to the sort of 2006 ceasefire agreement whereby that lebanese army and the un are supposed to keep hezbolla

busy a large explosion in one of the areas of the south of lebanon, and that was widely reported as a secondary strike, but it turned out to be mining experts, munitions experts, dealing with unexploded coordinates. so the danger of unexploded ordnance is a major concern for the lebanese military right now for the government there warning people not to go back to areas unless it is clear, but it is very difficult to argue against people that have been so displaced for so long trying to get it back to their homes with loving these people say is they feel that they should be able to roam their country freely. and that is certainly going to be one of the stress tests. so the durability of the seas far? well as really forces still remain inside loving. all right, let's think zane bus probably in the spring in now new rhonda. she's in the jo damian, capital a man that's because these ran the government is banned. i'll just say are from reporting in the occupied westbank and from inside as well. so knowing what it is, right, the official saying about that operations today, despite the seas
