Israeli Channel 13 reported that "Hezbollah may launch an attack on Israel after the visit of U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein, but it has not specified its targets yet." Hochstein is holding talks today, Wednesday, in Beirut, carrying a message that states the "necessity to reduce tensions at the Lebanese-Israeli border to avoid slipping into an open war." He emphasized in a statement from Ain al-Tineh, following his meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, that "hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel have escalated recently, and there is an urgent need to de-escalate along the Blue Line." Hochstein explained that "an agreement in Gaza will create the right conditions for lowering tensions between Lebanon and Israel."
