Senior U.N. officials and member states called Wednesday for an end to fighting in Lebanon, where Israel and Hezbollah have been fighting for the past ten days.

U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher called this “a moment of grave peril for Lebanon and for the region,” as the conflict disrupts markets, supply chains and aid operations.

The European Union has given Lebanon 100 million euros ($115 million) in humanitarian support, said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday in a call with President Joseph Aoun.

Two European countries have requested, through intermediaries, to contact Hezbollah to explore a possible settlement to resolve the current situation, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The United States has suspended its coordination with the Lebanese Army in an effort to increase pressure for the removal of the army commander, Rodolphe Haykal, the L'Orient-Le Jour newspaper has learned from several diplomatic sources.

However, such a measure is rejected in Lebanon as the war continues.

In New York, around 30 countries backing the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon voiced concern over the fighting in Lebanon, which was drawn into the war last week when militant group Hezbollah attacked Israel in response to the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in U.S.-Israeli strikes.

Israel, which kept up its strikes in Lebanon even before the war despite a 2024 ceasefire, has since launched air raids across Lebanon and sent ground troops into border areas -- an offensive that has left 570 people dead according to the health ministry.

Israeli air raids continued Wednesday in southern and eastern Lebanon and south Beirut.

Strikes targeted many regions across Lebanon including Haret Hreik and Hay al-Amerkan in Dahieh, Harabta and Bouday in Bekaa, and the southern towns of Zebqine, Touline, Qabrikha, Shaqra, Majdal Selem, Hanaway, Habboush-Arabsalim, Tayr Harfa and al-Hmairi.

The head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc, and reportedly the group's deputy chief, MP Mohammad Raad, has said that his party wants "real peace" in Lebanon and not a "surrender" imposed by Israel, calling on the government to take Hezbollah's stances into consideration.

Army chief General Rodolphe Haykal visited the southern town of Qlayaa by helicopter on Wednesday to offer condolences over the death of the town's priest by Israeli fire.

Residents of the town later expelled Change MP Elias Jradeh after he arrived to offer condolences. Jradeh, who has a leftist past, is known for supporting resistance against Israel but he is not affiliated with Hezbollah.

The Lebanese mother of two had just awakened to prepare the pre-dawn meal before another day of fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when Israeli warplanes began attacking southern Lebanon in retaliation for rockets and drones launched by Hezbollah.

The family quickly packed up and headed toward Beirut, seeking safety from another deadly war between Israel and Hezbollah. With tens of thousands of others fleeing on that March 2 day, the usually one-hour trip from the southern city of Nabatiyeh took 15 hours.
