Lebanon Moves to Avert Hezbollah-Israel Conflict

Lebanon's government is working to prevent a Hezbollah retaliation against Israel, which could trigger a broader conflict. This was disclosed by Lebanon's foreign minister Abdallah Bou Habib in a press conference with his Egyptian counterpart, amid rising regional tensions following recent high-profile killings in Tehran and Beirut.

Lebanon's government is making efforts to prevent a Hezbollah counterattack on Israel, aiming to avoid a wider war. The preventive measures were highlighted by Lebanon's foreign minister Abdallah Bou Habib, during a press conference with Egypt's foreign minister on Tuesday.

The situation in the region has escalated over the past week. This escalation followed the assassination of the head of Palestinian militant group Hamas in Tehran and an Israeli airstrike on Beirut's suburbs that resulted in the death of a top Hezbollah commander.

The Lebanese government is concerned that these events could spiral into a larger conflict, involving multiple nations and non-state actors in the already volatile region.
