However, tensions were high because officials were allegedly irritated that the operation had been announced hours before they had even convened.
An anonymous U.S. security officer informed News and other websites on Monday morning about an impending “limited” invasion of Lebanon. President Biden seemed to corroborate the allegations when questioned about it later by reporters, saying, “I’m more aware than you might know.”
Similarly, spokesperson Matthew Miller of the U.S. State Department informed reporters later in the day at a briefing that “they have been informing us about a number of operations.”
As of right now, they have informed us that they are restricted operations targeted at Hezbollah facilities close to the border. However, we’re always talking about it with them,” he continued.
Miller may have been referring to current or upcoming operations because earlier on Monday, rumors circulated indicating that Israeli special troops had it.
