Israel sent a message today to Lebanon through US mediators that “cooperation between Hezbollah and Lebanon is unacceptable,” a security official tells Channel 12. The message came after Israel received evidence that the terror group was coordinating with the Lebanese army, says the official.

Despite the evidence, Israel postponed a strike in the southern Lebanon town of Yanouh against Hezbollah infrastructure after issuing warnings to residents, giving Lebanese troops a chance to clear the site of weapons.
