citizens of imminent Israeli military activity on the border, in what was
described by Beirut as "extremely serious acts."
Amal Mudallali's letter to the United Nations Security Council came days

is a prelude to the launch of further attacks," she wrote.
"That campaign is being accompanied by a number of extremely serious acts,

place on Lebanese territory that might put their lives at risk," wrote
Mudallali.
