Fears receded as pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah also ruled out, according to Washington
Israel has exchanged fire on its northern border with Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group, and sent reinforcements to prevent a ground incursion.
Yoav Gallant, Israel’s defence minister, favoured a pre-emptive strike on Hezbollah before going in to Gaza, according to The New York Times.
Those fears have “receded for now”, according to the unnamed US officials, but the idea had been taken seriously by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister.
The officials said that the US warned Israel against a massive strike on Hezbollah across the Lebanese border, when the idea was most keenly pushed in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas assault on Oct 7.
