The FBI is investigating a leak that appears to show Israel's plan to attack Iran. The Israeli military mistakenly struck a truck owned by the Lebanese Army, killing three soldiers, highlighting the complicated dynamic between Lebanon's army and Israel. The United States has provided financial and training support to Lebanon's armed forces, but if the Lebanese army were to get involved in the conflict with Hezbollah, the US would find itself in the awkward position of having two American-supported militaries fighting each other. The Lebanese army, however, is unlikely to enter the fray due to its position of neutrality and its weak economic and military capabilities.
