Israel has informed the United States of its “limited operations” against Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to the State Department. Spokesperson Matthew Miller revealed that Israel is targeting Hezbollah infrastructure near the border, with ongoing discussions between the US and Israel about the situation.
The definition of a “limited operation” is based on Israel’s perspective, distinguishing it from the US’s interpretation, as clarified by Miller. Despite supporting attacks on Hezbollah, the US emphasizes the importance of diplomacy in resolving the conflict and avoiding civilian casualties in Lebanon.
Israeli military movements towards the Lebanese border indicate a potential ground attack, as Defense Minister Yoav Gallant hinted at escalating actions. Tensions between Hezbollah and Israel have intensified following previous conflicts, with airstrikes causing casualties and concerns about a wider regional war.
The international community remains vigilant, fearing the repercussions of Israeli actions in Lebanon and urging for peaceful resolutions to prevent further escalation.
