Beirut, Jan. 17 (UNI) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday called for a halt of Israeli military operations in Lebanon.
Addressing peacekeepers at the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon, Guterres said, "The continued occupation by the Israel Defense Forces inside the UNIFIL area operations and the conduct of military operations in Lebanese territory are violations of resolution 1701 and pose a continued risk to your safety and security."
"They must stop," he added.
