In Beirut, US envoy says war between Israel and Hezbollah would not be ‘containable’

US Special Envoy Amos Hochstein says a “limited war” between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group would not be “containable.”

However, Hochstein adds that the US is “hopeful” about efforts to restore stability to southern Lebanon and northern Israel.

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

Hezbollah-led forces have been launching daily attacks on Israeli communities and military posts along the border since October 8.

It has marked the worst conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed terror group since the 2006 war, fueling fears of a bigger confrontation.
