The Lebanese government has asked the United States to urge restraint from Israel, Lebanon’s foreign minister Abdallah Bou Habib tells Reuters, as tensions build following a Hezbollah rocket attack that killed 12 children in northern Israel.

Bou Habib says the US had asked the Lebanese government to pass on a message to Hezbollah to show restraint as well.
