Israeli forces withdrew from a series of border villages including southeast Lebanon's Odaisseh.
ODAISSEH – Ali Qashmar walked into his south Lebanon hometown on the Israeli border Tuesday to find bulldozed fields and piles of rubble where there used to be neighbourhoods brimming with life.
Israeli forces withdrew from a series of border villages including southeast Lebanon's Odaisseh, Kfar Kila, Mais al-Jabal, Markaba and Hula under an extended ceasefire deadline that expired on Tuesday. A stunned Qashmar pointed to where buildings had once stood, the walls of nearby homes also collapsed or damaged.
Under the deal, Lebanon's army was to deploy as Israeli forces withdrew from south Lebanon over a 60-day period that was later extended to February 18, and Hezbollah was to remove any fighters and infrastructure.At one of these points, between Odaisseh and Kfar Kila, AFP correspondents saw high dirt barriers, but no sign of Israeli soldiers."We will return to our villages -- whether they want or not, we'll go back in spite of them," he said.
In November before the ceasefire, a World Bank report said the conflict was estimated to have damaged almost 100,000 housing units.
