Israel carries out ‘localized ground raids’ in south despite calls for de-escalation

The American Minister of Defense, Lloyd Austin, said this Tuesday that he was convinced, like Israel, of the “need to dismantle the attack infrastructures” of Hezbollah, after the launch of Israeli “localized ground raids” in southern Lebanon .

Lloyd Austin also warned Tehran against a possible “direct military attack against Israel”, emphasizing the “serious consequences” that this would entail for Iran, according to a press release published on the social network X.

A “diplomatic resolution is necessary” to ensure the safety of civilians “on both sides of the border”, also reaffirmed the head of the Pentagon.
