    More than a million Lebanese residents have found themselves without a place to call home since the war reignited in early March. Many fled the south after the Israeli military invaded in an effort to prevent Hezbollah from firing rockets into northern Israel. Now, with a shaky temporary ceasefire in place, people are trying to return home, if there's a home to return to. NPR's Cat Lonsdorf was among them, traveling down south as far as she could go, all the way to the Israeli occupied zone.
