Hezbollah chief vows to support implementation of ceasefire in Lebanon

The leader of the Iran-linked Hezbollah militia, Naim Qassem, has said his group plans “high-level coordination” with the Lebanese army to implement a ceasefire with Israel, which will start on Wednesday started.

“The coordination between the resistance and the Lebanese army will be at a high level to implement the obligations of the agreement,” Qassem said in a televised statement on Friday.

“The agreement was concluded with full respect for Lebanese sovereignty. We agreed to it with our heads held high, in our right to self-defense.”

Qassem claimed his militia won a “great victory” in the latest war with Israel.

“We are facing a great victory that surpasses the victory of July 2006, given the length of its duration, the ferocity of the battle and the enormity of the sacrifices,” he said, referring to a 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel.

The ongoing ceasefire aims to end fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, which began more than a year ago.
