Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian will begin Thursday a tour in the region that includes a visit to Lebanon, Iran’s ambassador said.

The ambassador, Mojtaba Amani, said that the visit comes “amid the current developments in Palestine and the crimes that are being committed against Gaza and their dangerous repercussions.”

The United States is "clearly concerned" by rocket attacks by Hezbollah on northern Israel as tensions soar following the surprise assault by Palestinian militant group Hamas, the White House said.

"We've been watching with concern some of the rocket attacks that come across the northern border of Israel from Lebanon, which obviously were coming from Hezbollah," National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said.

The Israeli army said Wednesday an "error" was behind reports of a suspected "aerial infiltration" from Lebanon, ruling out any major incident near the border.

"There are no launches at this point from Lebanon. There are no alerts," army spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement.

Former Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat reiterated Wednesday his call on Hezbollah to stay out of the Israeli-Palestinian war.

"Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is a key player in the region and I reiterate my appeal for him not to be dragged into the war," Jumblat told LBCI.

Hezbollah considered Wednesday the U.S. "a full partner to the Israeli aggression on Gaza," holding it fully responsible for the killing, siege, destruction, and massacres "against defenseless civilians, including children, women, and elderly."

"We were not surprised by the U.S. support for the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people," Hezbollah said in a statement.

U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea met Tuesday with Speaker Nabih Berri and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati to “relay the U.S. stance” over the developments in Gaza and south Lebanon, media reports said.

Shea “warned against dragging Lebanon or Hezbollah’s entanglement of the country through opening a new front in the South,” al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Wednesday.

A potential intervention by Hezbollah and uncertainty over the role played by Iran itself are risk factors that could push the unprecedented conflict between Israel and Hamas into a wider regional war, analysts say.

For now, there is no indication of an impending offensive by Hezbollah against Israel, despite growing border tensions.

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea has said in an interview with MTV that the Lebanese opposition will “exert utmost effort” to prevent a major ignition of Lebanon’s southern front with Israel.

“We can do without adding to all the miseries of the Lebanese people,” Geagea said.

Israel is not interested in starting a war with Hezbollah but is ready to fight if necessary, Asharq al-Awsat newspaper reported Wednesday.

The daily claimed that Israel has sent this message to Hezbollah through France on Saturday and that Hezbollah responded that it is too "not concerned" with starting a war but is ready for it if necessary.

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil has warned against a return to the so-called “Fatah Land” era in south Lebanon, in the wake of the attacks launched by Palestinian groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad from south Lebanon.

“As much as we support the right of the Palestinian resistance to fight Israel on Palestine’s land, we refuse any use of Lebanese territory as a launchpad for military actions by any non-Lebanese party,” Bassil said on a post on the X platform.
