Mikati urges UN ahead of meeting to take firm stance over Israel's 'technological war'

Caretaker Prime Minister called Thursday for the United Nations to oppose Israel's "technological war" on his country ahead of a Security Council meeting on exploding devices used by Hezbollah that killed 32 people.

Najib Mikati said in a statement the U.N. Security Council meeting on Friday should "take a firm stance to stop the Israeli aggression on Lebanon and the technological war it is waging".

The United Nations Security Council will meet Friday to discuss the deadly wave of explosions across Lebanon targeting devices used by Hezbollah.

The meeting, requested by council member Algeria, will be held at 3 pm (1900 GMT), the spokesperson said on Wednesday.
