The U.S. remains engaged in intense diplomatic endeavors to avert further escalation of the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon.

The U.S. remains engaged in intense diplomatic endeavors to avert the further escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to White House national security spokesperson John Kirby.

On Wednesday, hand-held radios used by the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah detonated across Lebanon's south, Beirut suburbs, and the Bekaa Valley. This event has further strained tensions with Israel, coming a day after similar explosions involving the group's pagers.

Kirby clarified that the U.S. had no involvement in the device blasts. (Reporting by Trevor Hunnicutt and Jarrett Renshaw; editing by Diane Craft)
