UN demands halt to escalating attacks between Hezbollah and Israeli forces

Quick Summary:

UNITED NATIONS—The UN Security Council on Wednesday demanded a halt to the increasing attacks between Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants and Israeli forces and warned that further escalation "carries the high risk of leading to a widespread conflict.

The resolution extended for another year the mandate of the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon known as UNIFIL, which was created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon after a 1978 invasion and has been there ever since.

During the ongoing clashes between Hezbollah and Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, UNIFIL facilities or vehicles have been hit by shelling or gunfire on several occasions.
