 Israeli official accuses U.S. of endangering lives of IDF troops after plans for 'targeted' ground invasion of Lebanon were 'outed'

A senior Israeli official has accused the U.S. of endangering IDF troops by leaking information about its planned ground invasion of Lebanon. 

As reported by The Times of Israel, an unnamed official called the leaks 'dangerous', adding that 'this was done even though the U.S. supports the operation but it is clear that the U.S. is worried - and therefore they outed the operation to try to limit it'. 

The comments come amid reports that ministers in Israel's political security cabinet were left frustrated that the news of their planned invasion was leaked when an unnamed US security official confirmed yesterday to different news outlets of an impending 'limited' invasion into Lebanon.

In addition, during a U.S. State Department briefing Monday, spokesman Matthew Miller said that Israel had 'told us that those are limited operations focused on Hezbollah infrastructure near the border'. 

President Joe Biden also told reporters yesterday that he was 'more aware than you might know', before adding: 'We should have a cease-fire now'.
