The United States and its allies have warned the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah against escalating the conflict in Israel as the US prepositions military assets to deter a potential widening of the war, multiple US officials and people briefed on the discussions tell CNN.

Senior administration officials do not believe at this point that Hezbollah is likely to join Hamas’ war in force against Israel, and officials think the warnings are having an impact even though there have been some escalation on the border.

The US is sending the message to Hezbollah to stay out of the conflict through a number of channels, including the Lebanese government and the Hezbollah-allied Speaker of Lebanon’s Parliament, Nabih Berri.

Due to the security situation and the danger on the roads, the physical access to the resilience centers has almost halted.

Some 4,000 requests for emotional help have been received in recent days by the Health Ministry’s resilience centers in the south that provide telephone and Zoom support. This is almost three times the number of referrals received in other stressful situations that occurred this year. In addition, about 5,500 inquiries came to the ERAN (Emotional First Aid – 1201) hotline.

Due to the security situation and the danger on the roads, the physical access to the resilience centers has almost halted, but in addition to those who do arrive, the center’ teams have gone into the field and visited the homes of about 150 residents who needed help.
