National Security communications adviser John Kirby denies U.S. involvement in the explosion of electronic devices used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon. The attacks, believed to be the work of Israel, resulted in multiple casualties and heightened fears of an escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Kirby reiterated that the U.S. wants to see the war end and is focused on preventing further escalation. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant praised the work of Israel's army and security agencies, but made no mention of the exploding devices.
