UN officials urge ‘maximum restraint’ on Lebanon-Israeli front
- 28 Jul 2024
The United Nations special coordinator for Lebanon and the head of a UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon urged maximum restraint on the Lebanese-Israeli border early on Sunday, after a deadly attack in the area caused tensions to spiral.
A rocket attack on a football ground in a Druze village in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights killed 12 people, including children, on Saturday.
Israel blamed the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah and vowed to retaliate but Hezbollah denied responsibility.
