Video. After the war, Lebanon prepares for Christmas

Updated:

Relieved after the ceasefire that was agreed at the end of November, which ended almost 14 months of war between Israel and Hezbollah, the Lebanese people celebrated Christmas on Tuesday with markets and parades.

Tens of thousands of Lebanese are expected to arrive from abroad to celebrate Christmas with their family and friends.

The ceasefire calls for an initial two-month halt to the fighting and requires Hezbollah to end its armed presence in southern Lebanon, while Israeli troops must return to their side of the border.
