Hezbollah chief says armed group’s mobilization to end

(Reuters) – The leader of Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, announced the end of his armed group’s mobilization , after Lebanese and Israeli leaders finalised a U.S-brokered maritime demarcation deal.

Nasrallah said in a televised speech that the signing of the deal is a “very big victory for Lebanon,” adding that the Lebanese government was careful not to take any steps “that even smelled of normalization” in the indirect deal with Israel.
