BEIRUT, April 16 (Reuters) - Hezbollah said on Thursday that the presence of Israeli troops on Lebanese territory would grant Lebanon and its people “the right to resist,” adding in its first comment on a proposed truce that any ceasefire must not allow Israel freedom of movement within Lebanon.

In a written statement, Hezbollah ally and speaker of Lebanon’s Parliament Nabih Berri urged Lebanese to “postpone their return to their towns and villages until the situation becomes clearer, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.”
