U.S. President Donald Trump issues a rare public rebuke of Israel’s military tactics in Lebanon, where Israel conducts operations targeting Hezbollah militants. Multiple outlets report that Trump criticizes the approach of bombing entire apartment buildings, saying it is unnecessary to do so in order to find and strike militants.
The reports also say Trump frames the campaign against Hezbollah as something Israel has been fighting for “too long.” Several sources note that Trump’s comments come after he previously expressed displeasure about Israeli attacks in Beirut that he said could have endangered a potential peace deal with Iran.
The coverage is based on Trump’s public remarks and reflects his critique of Israel’s conduct in Lebanon, particularly the impact on civilians. While the articles focus on Trump’s comments, they do not provide additional detail in the excerpts about specific strikes or casualty figures tied to the remarks.
