Hezbollah's deputy leader Naim Qassem said in a televised address on Tuesday that the group's capabilities were intact and its fighters were pushing back Israeli ground incursions, despite the "painful blows" inflicted by Israel in recent weeks.
Qassem said the group supported the efforts of Lebanon's Parliament Nabih Berri - a Hezbollah ally - to secure a ceasefire, without providing further details on any conditions demanded by Hezbollah.
