Hezbollah has called on Lebanese residents to postpone their return to the country’s south, the Bekaa valley, and Beirut’s southern suburbs, ahead of a ceasefire with Israel scheduled to start at midnight local time, AFP reports.
“In the face of a treacherous enemy accustomed to violating covenants and agreements, we call on you to be patient and to refrain from heading to the targeted areas in the south, the Bekaa, and Beirut’s southern suburbs, until the situation becomes completely clear,” the group has said in a statement.
The Hezbollah-affiliated Islamic Health Committee, in a statement, has also advised people to wait “until you are certain that a ceasefire has been officially declared and has come into effect” and urged people to “wait until morning” before taking to the roads.
