UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon late Sunday night called for restraint following a deadly day of border demonstrations marking "Nakba Day" along the Syrian border.
"The secretary-general is deeply concerned that a significant number of people have been killed or injured," Ban's office said in a statement. "He calls on all concerned to show restraint and refrain from provocations so as to prevent escalation of tensions and ensure civilians are not killed or injured.”
