UNIFIL, the long-standing peacekeeping mission, continues to patrol the volatile border and report cease-fire violations, but increased hostilities have made their mission more dangerous. Both sides claim to avoid war, yet preparations for broader conflict are evident, raising fears of a significant escalation.
