The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, the Unifil, has urged restraint after a fire exchange at the Israel-Lebanon border earlier on Sunday.
"We are in contact with authorities on both sides of the Blue Line, at all levels, to contain the situation and avoid a more serious escalation," Unifil said in a statement.
"Our peacekeepers remain in their positions and on task. They continue to work, some from shelters for their safety."
