The US National Security Council spokesman said the country had nothing to do with the explosions in Lebanon. He said he was confident that the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could be resolved through diplomacy. However, it was too early to say how the latest explosions would affect tensions between the sides.
Lebanon's foreign minister has expressed fears that war could break out after a series of “attacks.” He claims Israel is behind them and calls on the international community to help restore peace. The Lebanese government is currently avoiding contact with Hezbollah, fearing retaliation from the group after the strike.
The incidents are exacerbating the tense situation on the Lebanese-Israeli border. The Lebanese minister called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and called on international organizations to support the process. He stressed that warnings of a possible war must be taken seriously to avoid more catastrophic consequences.
