A United Nations brokered ceasefire has gone into effect in Lebanon and Israel, ending — at least temporarily — 33 days of fighting. Thousands of Lebanese refugees are now attempting to return home. The U.N. Security Council agreed on Friday to dispatch 15,000 soldiers to Southern Lebanon. The resolution mandates that Hezbollah stop all attacks and that Israel withdraw and stop what is described as “offensive operations.”
