BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israel's decision to end its air and naval blockade did little to lift the gloom from Beirut's streets on Thursday, with many Lebanese saying uncertainty over the future overshadowed their relief that the embargo is over.
The scale of death and destruction that engulfed Lebanon during a 34-day war between Israel and Hizbollah rekindled memories of the 1975-1990 civil war and left many residents fearing that the worst was not over even after a U.N. truce halted the fighting on Aug. 14.
