Lebanon pager explosions: UN Security Council condemns attacks, civilian injuries | FULL

United Nations (UN) Security Council members warned on Friday that further violence between Israel and the Iran-aligned groups of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon risked igniting a far more damaging conflict.
"We risk seeing a conflagration that could dwarf even the devastation and suffering witnessed so far," UN political affairs chief Rosemary DiCarlo told the 15-member council, which met about attacks this week on Hezbollah. "It is not too late to avoid such folly. There is still room for diplomacy."
"It is imperative that even as facts emerge about the latest incidents - in which I reiterate, the U.S. played no role - all parties refrain from any actions which could plunge the region into a devastating war," Robert Wood, deputy U.S. ambassador to the UN told the council. He added that the U.S. expects all parties to take all reasonable steps to minimize harm to civilians, especially in densely populated areas.
Meanwhile, UN human rights chief Volker Turk said it was "difficult to conceive" how the attacks on Hezbollah's communications devices "could possibly conform with the key principles of distinction, proportionality, and precautions in attack, under international humanitarian law." Turk called for an independent, thorough and transparent investigation and for those who ordered and carried out the attacks to be held to account.
