U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has noted "growing concern over rising tensions" on the Lebanese-Israeli border in a telephone call with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, a statement said.

Blinken, however, "underscored continued U.S. support" for Lebanon's army, security forces and people, spokesperson Matthew Miller said in the Saturday statement.
