Did Nasrallah agree to ceasefire with Netanyahu before his killing?

Hassan Nasrallah was killed on September 27 when his bunker was hit by Israeli bombs. While Hezbollah's statement did not reveal the cause of his death, Reuters reports said that the cause of death was blunt trauma caused by the blasts.

Bou Habib told PBS that Nasrallah had agreed to a ceasefire with Netanyahu, a decision which had gotten full consent from Lebanon. After consulting with Hezbollah, the same was communicated to both the US and France.
