US intelligence sources have warned of a looming large-scale conflict between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah group. The potential outbreak hinges on the failure of a Gaza ceasefire agreement, complicating efforts by US officials to de-escalate tensions.
Despite efforts, senior US officials doubt an imminent peace deal between Israel and Hamas. According to reports, both the Israeli military and Hezbollah are actively preparing for conflict, including seeking additional weaponry, heightening concerns among US officials.
While both sides publicly express reluctance for war, reports suggest a rising apprehension among US officials that intense fighting could erupt despite diplomatic efforts.
