Residents of Qusayr in central Syria are finally returning home after the departure of Hezbollah fighters, who helped Bashar al-Assad's forces seize the city a decade ago and left with his fall.
Many of the houses are now in ruins, after years under the control of the Lebanese armed group, a key Assad ally which had set up a military base and training camp there.
"Most areas in the city of Qusayr were off-limits to us," said 22-year-old resident Ali Khleif.
"Even the local residents who owned shops and establishments there were prohibited from entering."
