Displaced families in the coastal city of Sidon are expressing deep skepticism regarding the extension of a fragile truce between Lebanon and Israel, according to a report by France 24.
Many civilians, uprooted by months of conflict involving Hezbollah, say they feel little relief from the recent extension. Ongoing strikes and persistent uncertainty continue to prevent many from returning to their homes.
While U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced optimism about a potential path toward peace, the sentiment on the ground remains one of deep mistrust. The outlet reported that the lack of stability prevents many from believing in a lasting resolution.
Uncertainty persists in Sidon
For those living in temporary shelters, the cessation of major hostilities has not translated into a sense of security. The fear of renewed fighting remains a primary obstacle to the return of displaced populations.
Civilians in Sidon cite the volatility of the situation and the frequency of recent strikes as reasons for their hesitation. The report highlights that the deep-seated mistrust between the warring parties makes the prospect of a permanent peace seem distant to those most affected by the violence.
