US officials hope intensified Israeli military pressure on Hezbollah will lead to a diplomatic solution and the return of civilians after a year of fighting. However, there are concerns that this approach could spark an all-out war. The Biden administration has urged Israel to avoid ground invasions or airstrikes in civilian areas that could escalate the conflict. The report comes after a wave of IDF strikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon and the firing of rockets by the terror group at northern Israel.
