The UN Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on Friday called for an end to hostilities across the Israel-Lebanon border after Hezbollah launched at least 10 rockets at the Galilee and the Golan Heights.
Israeli artillery fired at the source of the rocket fire in response.
UNIFIL’s Head of Mission Major General Stefano Del Col is in direct contact with the parties.
"This is a very dangerous situation, with escalatory actions seen on both sides over the past two days," UNIFIL said in a statement. "We are actively engaging with the parties through all formal and informal liaison and coordination mechanisms to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.
We are coordinating with the Lebanese Armed Forces to strengthen security measures throughout the area of operations.
UNIFIL calls on the parties to cease fire and maintain calm so we can begin an investigation.
