The United Nations special coordinator for Lebanon and the head of a UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon call for all sides to show “maximum restraint” in the aftermath of a Hezbollah strike that killed at least 12 children and teens in the Druze town of Majdal Shams in northern Israel.
The officials warn that the near-daily clashes on the Israel-Lebanon border have the potential to “engulf” the region in “catastrophe beyond belief.”
Hezbollah began attacking Israel on October 8 in what it said was a show of support for Hamas and Gaza following the October 7 terror assault in southern Israel.
