Cease Fire In Israel-Lebanon
As a UN-brokered ceasefire begins between Israel and Hezbollah, tension remains high on both sides. Lebanese civilians defied an Israeli travel ban and streamed back to their homes in war-ravaged areas Monday after a U.N. cease-fire halted fighting in the month-long conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that has claimed more than 900 lives. For the first time in a month, no rockets were fired into northern Israel, but few Israelis who fled the war were seen returning and Israel's government advised them to stay away for now to see whether the truce held. John Beaupre discusses the ceasefire and the future of relations between Israel and Lebanon.
