The UN Security Council votes to renew its long-running peacekeeping mission in Lebanon for a year, warning of a 'new conflict' with neighbouring Israel
Israeli military diggers work on the Lebanese-Israeli border next to a wall that was built by Israel in the southern village of Kafr Kila, Lebanon, Tuesday, December 4, 2018.
According to the draft text, the Security Council warned that "violations of the cessation of hostilities could lead to a new conflict that none of the parties or the region can afford." "Urging all parties to make every effort to ensure that the cessation of hostilities is sustained," the Security Council called on all sides to "exercise maximum calm and restraint."
Washington was unable, however, to reduce the maximum allowed number of peacekeepers deployed to 9,000.
