'We judge actions not words', US sources say on Qassem's remarks

U.S. officials followed Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem's defiant remarks on Thursday and "we judge actions not words," U.S. sources told LBCI television.

"This agreement resembles a last chance and wasting it means that everyone will pay a heavy price," the sources said of the overnight ceasefire agreement that was reached between Lebanon and Israel.

"The agreement begins with de-escalation leading to a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire, with Israeli forces beginning a withdrawal from a pilot area where the Lebanese Army will be deployed, marking the start of the implementation process," the sources noted.
