US warns Israel against hitting Beirut

(July 29, 2024 / JNS)
The Biden administration has warned Israel against targeting Beirut in response to Hezbollah’s rocket attack on Saturday that killed 12 children in the Golan Heights.

Washington fears that Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital could lead to a major escalation, Axios reported on Sunday.

U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein, tasked with the Lebanon portfolio by President Joe Biden earlier in his administration, spoke to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Saturday, stressing that Jerusalem has a right to defend itself against the Iranian terror proxy, but must avoid an all-out war and minimize civilian casualties.

How ironic the US always tells Israel to not escalate and limit their war tactics but you never hear the State Department tell Israel's adversaries who are constantly attacking Israel one word about what they do.
Yes they acknowledged the attack by Hezbollah that killed civilians including children but did they condemn it?
God sees and is taking note.

Major escalation...

Doesn't hundreds of missiles launched into one's country call for total extermination/victory over the bad guys launching those missiles?

We'd have deployed SOF, boots, air, and the sea already, along with a full-scale civil campaign and contractors to boot.

Aside from civilian casualties, there are other reasons not to hit Beirut.
The port and economy are of importance to the U.S.
