The U.S. State Department has issued a statement calling on Lebanon to take meaningful steps to prevent Hezbollah and other non-state armed groups from carrying out attacks against Israeli targets. This comes amid a fragile 10-day ceasefire brokered by the Trump administration between Lebanon and Israel. The statement represents continued U.S. pressure on the Lebanese government to control militant activities within its territory. The demand highlights ongoing concerns about Hezbollah's military capabilities and cross-border operations despite the temporary truce.
