It is coming up to two weeks since a ceasefire was brokered between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Since then there have been reports of minor violations on both sides. As the fragile truce continues, we hear from residents about their experiences, their fears and their hopes for peace. For one Israeli, after 13 months of conflict, some wartime habits are hard to break. We also hear from two women who decided to remain in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, throughout the war. “The ceasefire feels definitely bittersweet,” says Lea. “On one hand, there’s this sense of relief, knowing that for now the bombing has finally stopped...On the other hand, it doesn’t erase the trauma that we’ve been living...”

  • Hello, I'm Luke Jones.

  • Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.

  • We bring people together to hear their experiences.

  • And this time we're going to hear from residents in Lebanon and also in northern Israel on their experiences of war and their hopes during and after the ceasefire.

  • As the fragile truce continues, we'll hear from residents on both sides of Israel and Lebanon's border about their fears and their hopes for peace.

  • For One Israeli, after 13 months of conflict, some wartime habits are hard to break.

  • I still sleep fully dressed.

  • I haven't switched to pajamas at night for over a year just because of the situation.

  • You know, if I have to get up in the middle of the night and get everybody out of the house as quickly as possible, I want to be able to do that fully equipped.

  • It has been just over 10 days since the ceasefire began, and despite some Israeli airstrikes and a mortar attack by Hezbollah, so far it remains in place.

  • The ceasefire was brokered between the United States and France and is essentially a rerun of UN Resolution 1701, the deal that ended the 2006 Lebanon War.

  • That war was triggered by a raid from Hezbollah, an armed group and Shia Muslim political party which controls the most powerful armed force in the country.

  • The resolution, the deal, ushered in 18 years of relative peace, and you'll hear references to that period from some of our guests later on.

  • On the night of the announcement of the ceasefire on 27 November, my colleague Mark Lohan spoke to two women who had decided to remain in Lebanon's capital, Beirut, throughout all the fighting, despite the many warnings to leave.

  • They are friends, Lean and Leah.
