The war was triggered after Hezbollah guerrillas crossed Israel's northern border, killed three soldiers and returned to Lebanon with the two captured troops.
The resolution authorized deployment of a U.N. peacekeeping force of up to 15,000 troops to help Lebanese troops police the southern border with Israel. It also calls for a halt in arms shipments to Hezbollah, and demands the "unconditional release" of the two Israeli soldiers.
"This is an unequivocal demand by the state of Israel," Peretz said Saturday. "We see it as the key to continuing the precise implementation of resolution 1701."

I don't find it the least bit surprising that Hezbollah has not kept to the cease fire agreement. Did anybody actually expect them to? In fact, I can't remember a single cease fire that wasn't broken by either Hamas, Hezbollah or any other terrorist organizations. To the credit of some of the Arab countries surrounding Israel, most of the cease fires were not violated, but I can't say the same thing for Hamas or Hezbollah. This is the middle east. Don't expect to see anything remotely similar to civilized action by Hezbollah or Hamas.
