The UN mission in Lebanon warned on Sunday of a “wider conflagration” between Israel and Hezbollah following a lethal assault in town of Majdal Shams in occupied Golan Heights.
In a joint assertion, UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon (UNSCOL) Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, and head of UN Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) Gen. Aroldo Lazaro Saenz, condemned “the death of civilians – young children and teenagers – in Majdal Shams.”
They urged “the parties to exercise maximum restraint and to put a stop to the ongoing intensified exchanges of fire.”
“It could ignite a wider conflagration that would engulf the entire region in a catastrophe beyond belief,” they added.
Israeli authorities say no less than 12 individuals have been killed and 35 injured as a rocket struck a soccer area within the city of Druze in Majdal Shams, northern a part of Golan Heights.
Israel accused Hezbollah for the assault, however the Lebanese group has denied duty.
Israel and Hezbollah have traded cross-border fireplace for the reason that Gaza battle in October, resulting in fears of an all-out warfare.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated they may be certain that Hezbollah “pays a price.”
