Israel has pressed Lebanon to prevent Hezbollah from joining a renewed conflict with Iran, according to a security source cited by Israel’s public broadcaster. Jerusalem issued the warning through the United States, cautioning that fighting will flare up if Hezbollah attacks Israel.

The diplomatic pressure reflects Israeli concerns about escalation on its northern border and the potential for Hezbollah to expand regional hostilities. The warning comes amid ongoing tensions in the region and underscores the delicate balance Israel seeks to maintain regarding potential Iranian-linked militant involvement.

The message emphasises that any Hezbollah engagement would trigger Israeli military response, signalling Jerusalem’s determination to prevent the opening of another conflict front during the current security situation.
