top Lebanese government official said Wednesday evening that the Cabinet had approved a plan to deploy the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) south of the Litani River starting Thursday.
The twice-delayed meeting approved sending the army to the south of the country, where it will slowly take over territory from which IDF forces have begun to withdraw.

Earlier Wednesday, IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz asserted that the Israeli forces would not withdraw from Lebanon before an alternative force came to replace them.
Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora asserted that there would be no place in Lebanon that was not under the control of the LAF. He also insisted that in the future there would be no armed forces other than the Lebanese army.
The UN cease-fire resolution clearly states that the area south of the Litani river must be demilitarized.
The decision appeared to contradict a statement made by senior senior Hizbullah official Hassan Fadlallah, who stated on Wednesday that the issue of his organization's disarmament was not on the agenda.
According to Fadlallah, who spoke with al-Jazeera, Hizbullah will not evacuate its operatives from southern Lebanon since they are the ones who populate the region. "Any such withdrawal means the evacuation of southern Lebanon," he said.

If that headline is in a UN resolution, expect them to show up in short-sleeved shirts.

So, this means that Hizbollah terrorists will be issued Lebanese army uniforms, right?

Hizbullah will not evacuate its operatives from southern Lebanon since they are the ones who populate the region. So in other words there never were any "innocent civilians" in south Lebanon, just terrorists.

" So in other words there never were any "innocent civilians" in south Lebanon, just terrorists." That's what the man said. Now, media needs to explain where they came up with all the "innocent civillians" they kept harping on about.

You can buy Lebanese rifles cheap on the black market. Never been fired and only dropped once.

but Mr. Murr ( Lebanese Defence Minister) explained that his job is not disarmament, but rather to "ensure the security of the [Islamic] Resistance and citizens, to protect the victory of the Resistance."
