BEIRUT, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Lebanon's presidency said on ⁠Saturday ⁠it had been told ⁠by the U.S. ambassador that Israel would not escalate against Lebanon ​as long as there are no hostile acts from the Lebanese side, following the ‌launch of U.S.-Israeli strikes on ‌Iran.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said Saturday he rejects any attempt to drag his country into "adventures" threatening its security and unity.

The Israeli military says it is attacking Hezbollah sites but civilians and infrastructure are repeatedly targeted.

The IDF says it intercepted one rocket that was launched from Lebanon at northern Israel a short while ago. Several additional rockets fell in open areas, the IDF says, as they were not intercepted in accordance with the military’s policies. It says there were no reports of casualties or damage.

Lebanon's parliamentary elections, scheduled for May and widely seen as a new test for the country's main political players, remain in limbo.
