France's Macron urges restraint in Lebanon after wave of explosions

French President Emmanuel Macron held phone calls with top political and military leaders from Lebanon and a separate call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging restraint after a wave of explosions involving pagers and radio devices.

Macron asked Lebanese leaders to convey messages to local groups, including Hezbollah, to avoid further escalation, the Elysee said, amid fears of a wider war.
