U.S. envoy says ‘limited war’ at Lebanese-Israeli border would not be ‘containable’

U.S. Special Envoy Amos Hochstein said on Monday that a limited war across Lebanon’s southern border would not be containable.

Hochstein is on a one-day visit to Beirut as part of diplomatic efforts to end exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israel.

Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah and Israel have been locked in hostilities for months in parallel to the Gaza war. It has marked the worst conflict across Lebanon’s southern border since a 2006 war, fuelling fears of a bigger confrontation.
