Hezbollah chief demands full timetable for Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said on Tuesday that Israel must set out a schedule to withdraw completely from Lebanon “without retaining an inch”.

“We now have a ceasefire. The withdrawal must take place according to a timetable. Israel has no choice but to fully withdraw from all Lebanese territory, without retaining an inch,” Qassem said in a televised address.

This comes after at least two people were killed by gunfire from Israeli troops on Tuesday, threatening the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon as a fifth round of talks continues in the US.
