Hezbollah open to ceasefire

Hezbollah's deputy leader says he supports a call for a ceasefire with Israel.

The deputy leader of Hezbollah, Naim Qassem has said he supports a call from Lebanon's parliament for a ceasefire with Israel. It's thought to be the first time Hezbollah has voiced such a view without tying it to a truce in Gaza. Israel's military says one of its latest air strikes on Beirut has killed another senior Hezbollah commander.
