Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem has demanded a comprehensive ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon, urging Lebanese authorities to abandon direct talks with Israel after a truce agreement was announced.

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

The ceasefire is contingent on a complete cessation of Hezbollah fire and the evacuation of all operatives from the South Litani Sector
