Images online show people crossing a barbed-wire fence and entering the southern town of Kfar Kila carrying Hezbollah flags, notes Al Jazeera. Some locals were “resolute” about returning to their Israeli-occupied towns.

“We are determined to enter our villages — whatever the cost may be,” said Fatma, a woman from the southern town of Meiss el-Jabal, as she trekked towards her hometown.

Mohammed, a man from the southern town of Maroun al-Ras, was quoted as saying, “We are here as civilians and not as armed people. We are the people of the land.”

People could be seen entering Maroun al-Ras and standing facing nearby Israeli tanks.
