Israel's Firm Stance: No Interest in War with Hezbollah

Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant stated that Israel has no interest in escalating the situation on its northern front with Lebanon and that if Hezbollah restrains itself, Israel will maintain the current border situation. Recent sporadic fire across the Israel-Lebanon border has raised concerns of a broader conflict, but Israel has emphasized its desire to avoid war while warning that Hezbollah would face severe consequences if it chooses the path of war.
