UN chief António Guterres has warned of the risk of Lebanon becoming 'another Gaza' after Israeli warplanes struck the nation's south and Hezbollah fired rockets deep into northern Israel.
Israel and Hezbollah threatened to escalate their cross-border attacks despite a chorus of international calls for both sides to step back from the brink of all-out war. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday after intense rocket fire from Lebanon that Israel has dealt "a series of blows on Hezbollah that it could have never imagined".
The United Nations special coordinator in Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, said in a post on X: "With the region on the brink of an imminent catastrophe, it cannot be overstated enough: there is NO military solution that will make either side safer." The attacks came less than 48 hours after an Israeli airstrike targeting Hezbollah commanders in a suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
