Hezbollah will not accept 'partial ceasefire' with Israel: Senior group official to AFP

Hezbollah will not accept a "partial ceasefire" with Israel, a senior official from the group said Tuesday, 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 told 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.

On Monday, U.S. 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.
