UN calls for de-escalation amid rising tension between Israel and Lebanon. 12 civilians, including 10 rescuers, were killed - 11 on the Lebanese side, and one on the Israeli side.
The UN calls for a return to diplomacy and offers its good services to the Lebanese and Israeli armed forces to organize a tripartite if they wish. For almost six months since the war has raged between Hamas and Israel, Hezbollah, support of the Palestinian organization, and the Israeli forces have been in daily opposition.
