United Nations peacekeeping forces in Lebanon say the rocket barrages on northern Israel earlier today are “extremely serious.”

“This afternoon there were multiple rocket launches from southern Lebanon toward Israel,” UNIFIL says in a statement.

It says the head of the force, Major General Aroldo Lázaro, is in contact with both Israeli and Lebanese authorities.

“The current situation is extremely serious. UNIFIL urges restraint and to avoid further escalation,” the statement adds.
