The UN Security Council is set to convene on Friday to address the recent pager explosions in Lebanon, which have primarily targeted Hezbollah members. The meeting was requested by Algeria on behalf of Arab states, highlighting the escalating situation. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed concern that these explosions pose a serious risk of dramatic escalation in the region and emphasized the importance of not weaponizing civilian objects. Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the attacks, which resulted in multiple injuries and fatalities, including children, characterizing them as acts of cyber-terrorism by Israel. He urged citizens to avoid the affected areas to facilitate rescue efforts. Meanwhile, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, reflecting broader regional tensions.
