EXCERPT:
KIRBY: "There’s not a lot I can say about those. I won’t get into the details of it. I also made clear we weren’t involved in it. I will just say, George, that we are watching all these escalating tensions that have been occurring over the last week or so with great concern and we want to make sure we can continue to do everything we can to try to prevent this from becoming an all-out war with Hezbollah across that Lebanese border. We don’t want, in fact, we were convinced since the beginning of the conflict on October 8th and on to try to prevent an escalation to prevent a broadening of this conflict."
