However, the Shia militia understands this agreement as a "step before the total liberation" of the territory and has called on the Lebanese political forces to "a common national position" to protect the country's sovereignty over Israel, although it is clear to Israel that it will not withdraw its armed forces from southern Lebanon for the time being.

Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shia militia, has congratulated Iran on reaching a ceasefire agreement "for all fronts"withthe United States, according to which Israel should stop bombing Lebanon.
In a statement released by the militia, he described understanding as a "great achievement "and thanked Iranfor its repeated calls for an end to the war in Lebanon.
However, Hezbollah understands this agreement as a prelude to the "total liberation ofthe territory " , an agreement after which Israel hopes to relinquish its occupied land in the South, the return ofits prisoners, and the reconstruction of war-stricken areas.
Although it has approved the agreement, it has asked the displaced Lebanese to wait for instructionsfrom the competent authorities before returning home, in order to avoid the risks that may arise from Israel's failure to comply with the ceasefire.
Disagreements over the withdrawal of Israeli troops
Hezbollah has also sent a message to Israel warning that it will remain committed to defending the territory, population and sovereignty of Lebanonuntil Israel withdraws completely and releases its prisoners.
"At this stage, the Lebanese authorities and all political forces must regain a common national position in order to achieve the goals agreed by the people, which will serve Lebanon's interests and protect its sovereignty, strength and resilience to Israel's ambitions, "the movement added in the note.
The Lebanese government, through its president, Joseph Aoun, has also welcomed the fact that the agreement between the United States and Iran includes Lebanon and hopes that "it will allow the Lebanese to rebuild what has been destroyed and restore their normal lives."
Lebanese Prime MinisterNawaf Salam has said that negotiations with Israel will intensify effortsto secure a "complete withdrawal" of the Israeli army from southern Lebanon.
However, Tel Aviv has already advanced that it does not intend to abandon its positions. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has stated that Israel "opposes the withdrawal of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) from Lebanon, despite all current and future pressures.
