The UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process condemns the firing of rockets from Lebanon toward Israel, while calling for a wider escalation to be avoided.
“I condemn the launching of indiscriminate rockets from Lebanon toward Israel, which resulted in injuries, the largest such firing since 2006,” tweets Tor Wennesland.
“It is unacceptable & must stop. A wider escalation must be avoided. UN remains in contact [with] relevant parties to immediately de-escalate,” Wennesland tweets.
