UN 'deeply alarmed' by Israeli incursion | ABS-CBN News

After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered attacks on the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut on Monday (June 1), U.S. President Donald Trump said that Israel would send no troops to Beirut. But with the morning outburst in violence, the United Nations made clear it was "deeply alarmed." "Israeli warnings of imminent strikes on Beirut's southern suburbs are deeply concerning and have heightened fear and uncertainty among the population in Lebanon," said U.N. spokesman, Stephane Dujarric. Iranian state TV later said a ceasefire agreed between Iran and the U.S. was very likely to end if Israeli attacks persisted in Lebanon, where war has raged since Hezbollah entered the regional conflict on Tehran's side on March 2. People began fleeing Beirut's southern suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, in response to news of Netanyahu's order — the latest wave of displacement in a conflict that has uprooted more than 1 million people in Lebanon. Hezbollah, established by Iran's Revolutionary Guards in 1982, said its fighters had fired a missile salvo targeting Israeli military infrastructure in the Israeli city of Tiberias at 1 a.m. on Monday, among other attacks it said were in response to Israeli ceasefire violations. Dujarric questioned the legitimacy. "The most important thing is for the state of Lebanon, the Lebanese Armed Forces and state security services to have the monopoly of arms like in any other country in order to protect their own borders."
