Guterres Urges 'Utmost Restraint' after Lebanon-Israel Flare-Up
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed his "deep concern" about the recent escalation between Hizbullah and Israel across the Blue Line, "including rocket fire into Israel and return air strikes and artillery fire into Lebanon," the U.N. said.
"The Secretary-General calls on all parties to exercise utmost restraint and to actively engage with UNIFIL's liaison and coordination mechanisms," the U.N. said in a statement.
"It is paramount that all actors involved avoid actions that can further heighten tensions and lead to miscalculation," the statement added, quoting Guterres.
