Hezbollah: Ceasefire Must Not Allow Israel Freedom of Movement in Lebanon

Hezbollah said Thursday that the presence of Israeli troops on Lebanese territory would grant Lebanon ​and its people "the right to ⁠resist," adding in its ​first comment on a ⁠proposed truce that any ceasefire must not allow Israel freedom ​of movement within Lebanon.

In a written statement, Hezbollah ally and speaker of Lebanon's Parliament ⁠Nabih Berri urged ⁠Lebanese to "postpone their return ⁠to ⁠their towns and villages until the situation becomes clearer, in accordance with the ceasefire ​agreement."
