Naji Zein, a 72-year-old Lebanese who fled his home during the war between Israel and Hezbollah, reads a verse from the Koran as he visits his home in Beirut's southern suburb of Haret Hreik on November 30, 2024, four days after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah took hold. The truce ended a conflict that began the day after Hamas's unprecedented October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, when Hezbollah began a low-intensity exchange of cross-border fire in solidarity with their Palestinian allies.
