Reuters reported that Israel warned Lebanon it would strike the country hard if Hezbollah intervened in any potential US-Iranian war, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam had previously expressed deep concern over Hezbollah's contradictory signals, ranging from assurances of non-intervention in support of Iran to statements by Naim Qassem indicating the party would not remain neutral if Tehran were attacked.
