The heads of the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon and UN Special Coordinator Jeanine Hannis-Plasschaert are talking to both Lebanon and Israel in an attempt to prevent the outbreak of war, says UN Secretary-General spokesman Stéphane Dujarric, shortly before the IDF carried out an airstrike on a senior Hezbollah official in the heart of southern Beirut.
