U.S. Special Envoy Amos Hochstein said on Monday that a limited war across Lebanon's southern border would not be containable.
Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah and Israel have been locked in hostilities for months in parallel to the Gaza war. It has marked the worst conflict across Lebanon's southern border since a 2006 war, fuelling fears of a bigger confrontation.
