Foreign media have reported that U.S. President Joe Biden has warned Israel to avoid an all-out war with Hezbollah amid escalating tensions.
According to The Journal Post, early Monday, September 23, the Biden administration issued a serious warning to Israel, urging the country to refrain from using the highest level of military response against Hezbollah as tensions rise on the northern border.
U.S. officials are reportedly concerned that a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah could draw the United States into a broader conflict. In a warning message to Tel Aviv, Israel has been urged to exercise restraint and caution in dealing with Hezbollah.
Despite international calls to de-escalate and avoid all-out war, both Israel and Hezbollah have threatened to increase cross-border attacks.
The Israeli military reported that around 150 rockets were fired into Israeli territory on Saturday night and early Sunday morning, displacing at least 60,000 Israelis from their homes in the northern part of the country.
In response, Israel carried out attacks on targets in southern Lebanon, destroying thousands of Hezbollah’s rocket launchers.
This exchange of fire has raised widespread international concerns over the possibility of the conflict spiralling out of control.
The increasing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah have put the region on high alert, with the potential for a broader war looming. The international community is closely watching the situation, urging both sides to exercise restraint to prevent a catastrophic escalation.
U.S. intervention through diplomatic channels highlights the urgency of avoiding further destabilization, not only for regional security but also to prevent the direct involvement of global powers like the United States in the conflict.
