![AND BACK OFF FROM WIDER MIDEAST WAR - US and Europe warn Lebanon's Hezbollah to ease strikes on Israel](https://cdn.magzter.com/1560517598/1719685643/articles/xJMEz41921719696801763/AND-BACK-OFF-FROM-WIDER-MIDEAST-WAR-US-AND-EUROPE-WARN-LEBANONS-HEZBOLLAH-TO-EASE-STRIKES-ON-ISRAEL.jpg)
Hopes are lagging for a cease-fire anytime soon in Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza that would calm attacks by Hezbollah and other Iranian-allied militias.
With that in mind, American and European officials are delivering warnings to Hezbollah, which is far stronger than Hamas but seen as overconfident, about taking on the military might of Israel, current and former diplomats say.
They are warning that the group should not count on the United States or anyone else being able to hold off Israeli leaders if they decide to execute battle-ready plans for an offensive into Lebanon. And Hezbollah should not count on its fighters' ability to handle whatever would come next.
