Prominent Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah says the group supports a “full ceasefire on all Lebanese territory”.

Speaking to al-Manar, Fadlallah said such a ceasefire should be followed by the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon.

His comments come after the Lebanese presidency said Hezbollah had agreed to a US proposal calling for a “reciprocal cessation of attacks”.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, has said Israeli forces will “continue to operate as planned” in southern Lebanon.
