Despite rising tensions on the Israeli-Lebanese border, Israel and the U.S. detect a shift in Shiite sentiment against Hezbollah, Israel’s Ynet news portal has reported.

“The rising tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border and between Jerusalem and Beirut do not, according to sources in Washington and Jerusalem, reflect the full picture. Information obtained by Ynet indicates that the current assessments in both Israel and the United States regarding the situation in Lebanon are far more optimistic than what recent media reports suggest,” Ynet said.
