BEIRUT, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Monday called upon the United Nations Security Council to pressure Israel not to initiate any aggressive actions against Lebanon.
"If Israel's aggressions escalate, this will have dangerous repercussions on Lebanon and the whole region," a statement by Hariri's office said.
His remarks came during a meeting with French, Chinese, U.S., Russian and British ambassadors to Lebanon.
Hariri said that the government wants to prevent any escalations, which requires the support of the international community.
An Israeli drone crashed over the southern suburbs of Lebanon's capital Beirut on early Sunday morning, while another drone exploded in the air, causing severe damage to a media center of Hezbollah.
This constitutes the first clear attack by Israel against Lebanon since the 2006 war against the country.
