Jennifer Griffin reports from Beirut that the people of Lebanon and Northern Israel today enjoyed the quiet of a ceasefire announced yesterday between Israel and Hizbullah. The deal was brokered by Secretary of State Warren Christopher...and ended sixteen days of fighting which killed more than 150 Lebanese and forced thousands of Israelis and hundred of thousands of Lebanese civilians to flee their homes. In Lebanon today, waves of displaced families began returning home to towns and villages in Southern Lebanon.
