Israel uninterested in war in Lebanon, government source says
Sam Sokol is the Times of Israel's political correspondent. He was previously a reporter for the Jerusalem Post, Jewish Telegraphic Agency and Haaretz. He is the author of "Putin’s Hybrid War and the Jews"
Israel is not interested in an escalation leading to a war in Lebanon, a government source tells Channel 12.
“This is not an attack aimed at starting a war, but rather removing a serious threat to millions of Israeli citizens,” the network quotes the anonymous source as saying. “The continuation of the escalation depends on Hezbollah’s actions.”
