STORYLINE:
Nearly four months of fighting between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have upended life for residents on both sides of the border.

Tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes, and no one knows when it will be safe to return.

Many hold out hopes of a cease-fire, even as the prospect for full-blown war seems to grow.




The two enemies, which also fought a monthlong war in 2006, have kept the fighting on a relatively low level.
