New York, June 01 (QNA) - The United Nations expressed deep concern over the escalation of Israeli military operations in Lebanon, stressing the need to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure.
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric urged all parties to respect the ceasefire and avoid further escalation, emphasizing that there is no alternative to a diplomatic solution to break the cycle of violence and achieve lasting stability on both sides of the Blue Line.
