Israel-Hamas war: UN interim force in Lebanon worries about regional escalation. Some 10,500 peacekeepers from 48 countries are deployed between the Litani River and the Blue Line, which marks the border between Lebanon and Israel.
For Andrea Tenenti, spokesperson for UNIFIL, the United Nations peacekeeping mission, clashes between Hezbollah and Israel are increasingly unpredictable and dangerous. Hoping to bring the belligerents back to the negotiating table, UNifIL is calling for an immediate ceasefire.
