Hezbollah lawmaker demands end to Israeli attacks under ceasefire deal
A lawmaker from Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc said the new ceasefire agreement with Israel must include a complete cessation of Israeli hostilities across Lebanon.
In an interview with Anadolu Agency, Ibrahim al-Moussawi said the Lebanese group would approach the 10-day truce cautiously and monitor developments closely.
He added that the deal was reached "under Iranian pressure, Pakistani efforts and Saudi cooperation".
The 10-day ceasefire between Beirut and Tel Aviv came into effect at midnight local time, with Lebanese citizens celebrating the news.
However, Israeli violations were reported early on Friday, including the intermittent shelling of several southern Lebanese villages.
