Al-Akhbar, citing Lebanese government sources, says the warning went to Presidents Aoun and Salam. Hebrew Channel 14 says the US messaged Lebanon in general that Israel would respond without restrictions.

Sources disagree on:
- Al-Akhbar says the warning was delivered to Presidents Aoun and Salam, while Hebrew Channel 14 says it was addressed to Lebanon generally; the recipients differ.
- Al-Akhbar frames the message as Israel responding to Hezbollah entering the war, while Channel 14 adds that the response would be without restrictions; the wording of the threat differs.
- The two items are attributed to different sources (Lebanese government sources via Al-Akhbar, an unnamed source via Channel 14), and neither names a primary source.
