The top US general has warned Israel that Hezbollah is "more capable" than Hamas and enjoys greater support from Iran. Air Force General C.Q. Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, also warned Israel of limited help if it decides to go to war with Hezbollah, unlike the assistance US provided in intercepting Iran's April missile and drone attack.
"From our perspective, based on where our forces are, the short range between Lebanon and Israel, it's harder for us to be able to support them in the same way we did back in April," Brown told reporters in Cape Verde on his way to regional defence talks in Botswana.
Brown also said the US continues to talk with Israeli leaders and warn against widening the conflict. He said a key message is “to think about the second order of effect of any type of operation into Lebanon, and how that might play out.” Pentagon officials have said that Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin also raised concerns about a broader conflict when he recently spoke to his Israeli counterpart.
