UN official ‘deeply concerned’ by Israeli strike on terror commander in Beirut
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jeanine says she is “deeply concerned” by an Israeli airstrike south of Beirut targeting Hezbollah terror commander Fuad Shukr, which she says “resulted in multiple civilian casualties.”
In a statement released by her office, Hennis-Plasschaert “underscores once again that there is no such thing as a military solution and calls on both Israel and Lebanon to avail of all diplomatic avenues to pursue a return to the cessation of hostilities and to recommit to the implementation of resolution 1701 (2006).” The statement adds that the special coordinator is in close contact with interlocutors and urges for calm.
