Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem says that the group would not accept any justification to extend the period given for Israeli troops to withdraw from southern Lebanon.
Israel said on Friday that its army’s withdrawal would last beyond the 60-day period stipulated in the ceasefire agreement with the Lebanese group, saying the terms of the deal had not been fully enforced by the Lebanese state.
The US and Lebanon announced that the ceasefire period would be extended until February 18.
Qassem accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire 1,350 times.
