The Israeli Walla website reported, citing senior Israeli and American officials, that “the United States has sent, at Israel’s request, harsh messages to the Lebanese government, the Lebanese army, and UNIFIL,” regarding the tents on the border.
An Israeli official explained to the website, “We prefer that Hezbollah evacuate the people itself rather than bomb them. We have made this clear to the United States, and the Americans have made it clear to the people in Lebanon.”
Four high-level Israeli and American officials stated that “the United States is pressuring the Lebanese government and the Lebanese army to take steps to dismantle the tents that Hezbollah set up more than two months ago at the southern border.”
