US said to warn Israel not to target Lebanese state infrastructure as it battles Hezbollah
2024-09-25
The Biden administration: always standing at Israel’s back.
[IsraelTimes] The US has reportedly warned Israel not to target the sovereign infrastructure of Lebanon as it tackles Hezbollah across the border.

Two days ago, US officials told their Israeli counterparts that they support the IDF’s actions targeting Hezbollah while warning that the US “red line” was that Israel not “knowingly and deliberately” do anything that leads to all-out war, Channel 12 reports.

Now, it says, the US has “sharpened” that message and is telling Israel “under no circumstances” to harm the infrastructure and/or assets of the sovereign state of Lebanon. The US has told Israel to “distinguish as far as possible” between Hezbollah and Lebanon, the report says.

#6  The State Department and Pentagon should butt-out. From South Beirut to the border with Israel everything is a target.

#5  ^The point is, TW, if it wasn't intercepted - it'd hit a civilian target. But, to Arab (or leftist) mind - intention trumps results. (that's why they get along so well).

#4  Firing at is not the same as hitting, even with ballistic missiles.

#1  The US has told Israel to “distinguish as far as possible” between Hezbollah and Lebanon

That's like distinguishing between the Democratic party and Antifa.
