Israel-lebanon

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday called on all sides to exercise "caution" on the border between Israel and Lebanon, in his first telephone conversation since he was elected with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The world organisation has warned of a "heightened risk of a full-scale war" along the Lebanon-Israel border where 901 Indian peacekeepers are deployed.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called Thursday for an end to hostilities along the demarcation line between Lebanon and Israel, warning of the risk of a broader conflict.

The Israeli military and powerful Lebanese movement Hezbollah engaged in cross-border clashes on Saturday, with each claiming to have hit the other's positions along the frontier.

Israel said its aircraft struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Saturday and that one of its soldiers was hit by an anti-tank missile, in cross-border fighting that the Iran-backed group said killed six of its fighters.

Israel said on Friday it would evacuate more than 20,000 residents from Kiryat Shmona, one of the biggest towns on its northern border with Lebanon following a heavy cross-border exchange of fire in the area the day before.

Israel's northern border with Lebanon is often tense, the legacy of past conflicts. But as Israel readies to invade Gaza, its army faces the threat of a two-front war.

The United States voiced concern Sunday after Israel and Hezbollah exchanged fire along the Lebanese border, slamming the "destabilizing role" of Iranian proxies in the Middle East.

Israel's nature authority said Tuesday that a vulture from one of its reserves had been captured on suspicion of espionage in neighbouring Lebanon after flying across the border.
