UN Security Council Renews Peacekeeping Force in Lebanon
The United Nations Security Council on Wednesday unanimously voted to extend a long-running peacekeeping mission in Lebanon for another year.

The vote came just days after the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and the Israeli military engaged in one of the most intense exchanges of fire between them over the last 10 months amid fears that Israel’s war in Gaza would become a wider regional conflict.
