According to sources cited by Yedioth Ahronoth, the Israeli military refrained from launching an attack in Beirut due to American opposition to such an operation.

The Israeli defense establishment reportedly considered conducting a military strike in the Lebanese capital but ultimately did not proceed with the plan, with informed sources attributing the decision to pressure and objections from Washington.

The development underscores the ongoing diplomatic dynamics between Israel and the United States regarding military operations in the region, particularly those that could have significant regional implications.
