Accordingly, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin sent a letter to Israeli officials on October 13, requesting that Israel make changes to stabilize humanitarian aid operations in the Gaza Strip.
Two U.S. officials demanded that Tel Aviv send at least 350 aid trucks to Gaza each day, open more border crossings, and lift civilian evacuation orders unless there are plans for an attack.
The US threatens to halt arms supplies to Israel.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said pressure from Washington had been somewhat effective, with Israel allowing a shipment of aid to pass through the Erez crossing on October 14. Miller added that humanitarian aid to Gaza is currently only half of its peak level.
Nabatieh city after being hit by Israeli airstrikes.
Yesterday morning, the Israeli military carried out a series of airstrikes on the southern outskirts of Beirut, Lebanon, claiming to have struck a Hezbollah weapons depot. This move came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a ceasefire proposal with Hezbollah. Netanyahu asserted that Israel would not agree to any demands that did not allow Tel Aviv to establish a buffer zone on Israel's northern border, nor prevent Hezbollah from rearming. Meanwhile, Nabatieh province governor Howaida Turk said yesterday's Israeli attack killed Nabatieh Mayor Ahmad Kahil.
Hezbollah also claimed yesterday to have launched a series of rockets at the city of Safed in northern Israel.
