Hezbollah Supports Ceasefire Efforts in Lebanon, Deputy Leader Says

 


In a recent statement, Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Naim Qassem, expressed the group’s support for ongoing efforts to establish a ceasefire in Lebanon. This comes after two weeks of intense Israeli airstrikes that have resulted in significant casualties and destruction.
