The U.S. State Department has confirmed that Israel has been notifying Israel of limited operations targeting Hezbollah infrastructure near Lebanon's border.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a briefing that Israel has a right to defend itself, including targeting the infrastructure of terrorist attacks inside Lebanon.
Miller added, however, that he ultimately wants to see a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
Earlier, when asked about the possibility of Israel's limited ground war against Hezbollah inside Lebanon at a news conference on measures to deal with the hurricane, U.S. President Joe Biden said a ceasefire should be reached now.
