The United States has called for a de-escalation of cross-border exchanges between Israel and Lebanese group Hezbollah as threats of a full-blown war loom.
The comments Tuesday by U.S. special envoy Amos Hochstein in Beirut were made as attacks continued to escalate on both sides of the border.
Israel and Hezbollah began exchanging fire on October 8, a day after Hamas' deadly attack on southern Israel.
