The US military is not providing intelligence support to Israel for its operations in Lebanon, the Pentagon said on Wednesday, adding the United States was making "a full-court press" for a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh also said no Israeli ground incursion into Lebanon appeared imminent, but referred reporters to Israel for questions about its operations and plans.
Israel's military chief told troops on Wednesday that air strikes in Lebanon would continue in order to destroy Hezbollah infrastructure and to prepare the way for a possible ground operation by Israeli forces.
