Countering Trump, Hezbollah official rejects ‘partial ceasefire,’ says targeting of Israel will continue
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHezbollah will not accept a “partial ceasefire” with Israel, a senior official from the Iran-backed terror group says, refusing to halt attacks against northern Israel in exchange for Israel sparing Beirut’s southern suburbs.
“We will not accept a partial ceasefire,” Mahmoud Qomati tells AFP in a written statement, adding that “the Zionist enemy should know that any aggression against the suburbs could lead to a deeper and stronger response” from the group.
Yesterday, US President Donald Trump announced a deal which Lebanese officials later said involved Israel refraining from attacking Beirut’s southern suburbs in return for Hezbollah not attacking Israeli territory.
