UNIFIL, the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon, says today’s rocket fire from Lebanon and Israeli response “could have serious consequences for the region.”
“We strongly urge all parties to avoid jeopardizing the progress made, especially when civilian lives and the fragile stability observed in recent months are at risk,” UNIFIL says in a statement.
“The situation remains extremely fragile, and we encourage both sides to uphold their commitments. UNIFIL peacekeepers remain in all positions.”
