Don’t destruct Lebanon, Israel warned by US.
The United States urged its ally Israel to avoid Gaza military operations in Lebanon after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it could face “disaster” such as the borders of Palestine. Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi vowed to continue hitting Hezbollah targets, an operation that has killed more than 1,200 since September 23, “without giving them a break or a reprieve.”
The news followed a phone call between Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden, the first in seven weeks. The White House said Biden asked Netanyahu to “minimize harm” to civilians in Lebanon, especially in “large parts of Beirut.”
“You have a chance to save Lebanon before it falls into the depths of a protracted war that will lead to destruction and suffering, as we see in Gaza,” Netanyahu said in a statement to the Lebanese people.
He also said: Save your country from the hand of Hezbollah to end this war.
