The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, UNIFIL, is one of the UN’s oldest peacekeeping operations. Its nearly 2,000 troops and 50 unarmed military observers are tasked with seeking to maintain a ceasefire along the 70-mile (121 km) United Nations “Blue Line” between Israel and Lebanon, by patrolling, observing, reporting violations and liaising with the parties.

What exactly can they do then if Hezbollah fires rockets at Israeli's? Patrol? Observe? I believe that if peace really is going to be restored, then the UN should not sit idly, while Hezbollah re-arms itself for another conflict.
