The situation on the Israeli-Lebanese border is extremely sensitive, Kandice Ardiel , a spokeswoman for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon said Wednesday. She urged all sides to halt any actions that could lead to an escalation.
“We are aware of disturbing reports about an incident along the Blue Line,”Ardiel said. “We are looking into it. In the meantime, the situation is extremely sensitive.”“We urge everyone to cease any action that may lead to escalation of any kind.
Ardiel made the statement after the IDF halted two attempts by suspects on the Lebanese side of the border to sabotage the security barrier.
