The government of Jordan is warning that the heavy exchange of fire overnight between Israel and Lebanon could lead to a long-feared wider war in the Mideast involving Israel, Iran and its proxies.

The ministry’s spokesperson, Ambassador Sufian Qudah, urged countries to observe United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which calls for a series of de-escalating actions in southern Lebanon, where the Islamist paramilitary group is based.
