The officials think the warnings are having an impact even though there has been some escalation on the border.
A message has been sent to Hezbollah to stay out of the conflict through a number of channels, including the Lebanese government and the Hezbollah-allied speaker of Lebanon’s Parliament Nabih Berri.
France has also conveyed to Hezbollah that they must stay out of the war and not escalate further or Israel will respond significantly, a source briefed on the talks said.

Those discussions were also coordinated with the US, the source said.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin has ordered the deployment of a carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean in large part as a message to Hezbollah and its Iranian backers to refrain from entering the war.
US security adviser Jake Sullivan told to reporters at the White House on Tuesday last week. “let me be clear, we did not move the carrier for Hamas.
