UNIFIL urges Lebanese, Israeli army restraint

UN peacekeepers in Lebanon called on the Lebanese and Israeli armies to exercise "maximum restraint" after a border incident in which they exchanged fire.

"The main priority of the mission at the moment is to restore calm in the area and the Deputy Force Commander Santi Bonfanti is in contact with the LAF (Lebanese Armed Force) and IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) command urging for maximum restraint," UNIFIL spokesman Andrea Tenenti said.  (Reuters)
