The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, affiliated with Hezbollah, reported allegedly from Egyptian sources that the US is not committing to Israel stopping attacks in Lebanon, even after an agreement between the countries. It is claimed that the agreement “does not include a firm American guarantee to halt strikes deep inside Lebanon.” It was noted that Israel will reserve the right to self-defense against what it views as threats in Lebanese territory, including targeting what it classifies as Hezbollah military activities, whether training, weapons transfers or strikes on leaders – unless Lebanon acts to address it.
