The increasing impact of fighting between Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and militants from Hezbollah on Lebanese civilians 'is of grave concern', said UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric on Monday, condemning the mounting loss of life.
'All actors must adhere to international law and protect civilians and civilian infrastructure,' he said, adding that the UN mission which remains in place along the Blue Line of separation between the neighbouring countries also continues to be impacted.
