Xinhua News Agency, Beirut, November 12 (Reporter Xie Hao) Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati on the 12th called on Arab countries to put pressure on Israel to stop its provocative behavior in southern Lebanon.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Mikati said that Lebanon has always sought stability and will not take any measures to provoke more wars in the region. Arab countries, especially those with relations with Israel, should exert pressure to force Israel to stop its provocative behavior in southern Lebanon.
Mikati said that it is important for Lebanon to stay away from the war, and Lebanon has made a three-month emergency plan to prevent the war from happening. He said that he was "reassured by the rationality of Hezbollah in Lebanon".
According to the Lebanese National News Agency, Tenenti, spokesman of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), said on the 12th that shortly after midnight on the 11th, peacekeepers in UNIFIL positions near Gaozai reported hearing gunshots. A peacekeeper was shot and operated on. He is in stable condition and recovering.
Tenenti said that any attack on UNIFIL’s position and any use of its position to launch an attack across the "Blue Line" on the Lebanese-Israeli border are unacceptable for whatever reason. UNIFIL continues to urge all parties concerned to cease fire and ensure the safety of peacekeepers and all civilians living near the Blue Line.
Since the outbreak of a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict on October 7th, Hezbollah has supported Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and its military organization has fired rockets and shells at Israeli positions, while the Israeli army has also conducted air strikes and shelling. The leader of Hezbollah in Lebanon, Nasrallah, said on November 3 that the confrontation between Lebanon’s southern border and Israel may further escalate, depending on Israel’s behavior, and Hezbollah is ready for everything possible.
