Already on Friday, June 4, the Lebanese Government lodged a complaint with the Security Council and demanded an end to hostile actions which were taking place on Lebanese territory. On that day, the Secretary General of the United Nations had also issued a call to Israel and the P.L.O to cease fire. On 5 June, the Council adopted the following resolution. Israel took note that the attack on Ambassador Argov was not mentioned, and there was no effort to apportion any blame on the P.L.O. The resolution was adopted unanimously.
