Lebanon's Hezbollah vows to continue resistance

        Lebanon's Hezbollah on Wednesday vowed to continue its
        resistance and support Palestinians, including fighters, a day
        after a ceasefire deal between the group and Israel was
        announced.
        
        In the first statement by Hezbollah's operations centre
        since the deal was announced, the group made no direct mention
        of the ceasefire deal.
        
        "The Islamic resistance's operations room affirms that its
        fighters in all military disciplines will remain fully equipped
        to deal with the aspirations and assaults of the Israeli enemy,"
        the group said.
        
        It added that its fighters would continue to monitor the
        withdrawal of Israeli forces beyond the Lebanese borders "with
        their hands on the trigger".
        
        The ceasefire deal includes the withdrawal of Israeli forces
        from southern Lebanon within 60 days, Israeli officials said.
        
        The deal, brokered by the U.S. and France, ended the
        deadliest confrontation between Israel and the Iran-backed
        militant group in years. Israel is still fighting the
        Palestinian militant group Hamas, in the Gaza Strip.
