UN Seeks to Advance Force in Lebanon

World | August 16, 2006, Wednesday // 00:00

The UN is planning to deploy a 3,500-strong advance force of peacekeepers into Lebanon in 10-15 days, a senior official has said. The force would later be boosted to the full 15,000 agreed in the UN ceasefire resolution. Lebanon says it will start moving its own 15,000-strong force towards the south this week, while Israel says it could pull out within 10 days. The moves come as a two-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah continues to be in force, despite sporadic violence.
