There has been intense fighting between Israel and Hezbollah for over a year. More than 3,500 people have been killed in Lebanon, over a million people displaced, and many homes destroyed by Israeli airstrikes. Israel says 60,000 of its citizens will now be able to go back to their communities along its northern border, safe from Hezbollah rocket fire from Hezbollah.

In this episode, we speak to Carine Torbey, our 大象传媒 correspondent in Beirut, who explains the basics on Hezbollah, why it has been fighting Israel and what this ceasefire means.

We hear from other 大象传媒 correspondents on the ground in the region to get a sense of how the ceasefire deal is being received. And Jeremy Bowen, the 大象传媒鈥檚 International Editor explains what might happen to Hezbollah now - and whether a ceasefire in Gaza could be next.
