United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday he is profoundly concerned by escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah and that UN peacekeepers are working to calm the situation and prevent miscalculation.

Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo is reporting live from the UN headquarters, while Assed Baig provides up-dates from Beirut. Additionally, Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera's Senior Political Analyst, offers his analysis live from Paris.

UN peacekeepers 🤣 You mean the force deployed in Lebanon to enforce resolution 1701. Preventing Hezbollah presence in southern Lebanon. Which ended up taking orders from them.

Guernica in the background is such a beautiful and disturbing piece of art and an eerily appropriate image to show during this report.
