Israel let tens of thousands of Palestinians go back to northern Gaza for the first time since the early weeks of the 15-month war with Hamas​, under terms of a fragile ceasefire​.

Crowds of displaced Palestinians made the arduous journey back to heavily destroyed northern Gaza for a second day Tuesday, under a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested Friday that his county’s military might not withdraw all of its forces from Lebanon by this weekend’s deadline set in its ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Israel has prevented thousands of Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza, accusing Hamas of changing the order of hostages it has released.

Israel says it has killed thousands of the armed group’s members and destroyed much of its infrastructure, but since the cease-fire started Hamas has shown it still holds power in the enclave.

Israeli troops pull back but maintain a watchful eye on the tens of thousands of Gazans who had been displaced during the 15 months of fighting.

The Four returning hostages -- Daniella Gilboa, Liri Albag, Naama Levy and Karina Ariev -- have crossed into Israeli territory with IDF and ISA Forces, according to a statement from the Israel Defense Forces and the Israel Security Agency.

Nearly two months after the ceasefire in Lebanon came into effect, families continue to struggle with the devastating aftermath of Israeli forces’ attacks. ActionAid has released a series of powerful photographs by Lebanese photographer Dalia Khamissy,
