Amid the US-Iran agreement on a ceasefire, which includes Lebanon and Israel's denial, Hezbollah called for "more patience, steadiness, and waiting, and not heading to the targeted villages, towns, and areas in the south, Bekaa, and the southern suburbs of Beirut before the final official announcement of the ceasefire in Lebanon," emphasizing that "this treacherous and barbaric enemy, seeking to escape the image of its defeat, might resort to deceitful attempts to create an illusory scene suggesting it has achieved an accomplishment it couldn't secure in the field."


He said, "Today, we stand on the verge of a great historic victory, which will be achieved thanks to the sacrifices of the fighters, the blood of the martyrs, and your unmatched steadiness and patience."


He concluded his statement, "God willing, you will soon return to your villages and homes, proud, with heads held high, victorious as always."

Earlier, a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, MP Ibrahim Moussawi, said, “The agreement includes Lebanon according to the text, and Iran insisted on this, and if the Israeli enemy does not commit to the ceasefire, no one will commit, and there will be a response from the region and Iran.”
