Hezbollah says it is ready for a “suitable” truce but there are limits to what it can accept after suffering devastating Israeli attacks, analysts say

Qassim Qassir, a Lebanese analyst close to the group said,
Quote
A ceasefire is a “priority” for Hezbollah so it can “reorganize its ranks”
Sure thing ceasefire so that the terrorists can “reorganize its ranks” come back bigger and more lethal

Qassir said, referring to Israeli demands for Hezbollah to retreat 30km (20 miles) from the frontier,
Quote
“Hezbollah will agree to:
the deployment of the army [in south Lebanon] and to stay away from the borders but nothing more than that”

On the ground, Israeli forces have advanced as far as the town of Khiam, six kilometres (4 miles) from the border
Hezbollah says the Israelis have yet to fully control any frontier village
