Washington is concerned about Hezbollah’s attacks against Israeli forces, as the two sides exchange fire and violence escalates on the border with Lebanon, but there is no indication that the Shiite group is ready to launch an attack.in full forceWhite House national security spokesman John Kirby said today.

“We are concerned about the continued attacks on Israeli forces in the north, and so are the Israelis,” Kirby said.

“But I don’t think we have any concrete indication that Hezbollah is ready to launch a full-scale attack,” he added, while briefing reporters.

Moreover, The White House is considering the idea of ​​making some “pauses” in the conflicts between Israel and Hamas in Gaza to provide aid to civilians.

Any such temporary pause, however, would not mean Israel would stop defending itself, Kirby said.

“What we’re trying to do is look at the idea of ​​implementing as many pauses as are necessary to continue sending aid and getting people out safely, including hostages“, explained.

United Nations experts earlier called for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, stressing that time is running out for Palestinian civilians who face a “serious risk of genocide”.

Israel stresses that its attacks target Hamas and not civilians, whom the group uses as human shields.

“We are doing everything we can to minimize the risk of civilian casualties and collateral damageKirby said.

Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari announced earlier that “the encirclement of Gaza City is complete”, stressing that the idea of ​​a ceasefire is “not on the table”.
