Hezbollah says 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, Reuters reports.
In a written statement, Hezbollah ally and speaker of Lebanon’s Parliament Nabih Berri urged Lebanese people to “postpone their return to their towns and villages until the situation becomes clearer, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement”.
