The United States has raised concerns with Israel over its strikes in Beirut in past weeks, the State Department said on Tuesday, adding that strikes have diminished in recent days and Washington would continue to watch very carefully.
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said while there are strikes the US would consider appropriate for Israel to carry out, the US made clear to the government of Israel it had concerns with the nature of the bombing campaign seen in the past few weeks, largely due to the civilian toll.
