The situation on Lebanon’s border with Israel is “dangerous” with ongoing exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israel, the head of the United Nations peacekeeping force in the country warned, AFP reports.
“The situation now, as everybody knows, it is tense. It is difficult, it is dangerous,” said Aroldo Lazaro, head of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
“We are trying to continue with our liaison and coordination role […] in order to avoid miscalculations, misinterpretations that could be another trigger for escalation,” Lazaro told journalists ahead of a meeting in Beirut with French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna.
