JERUSALEM — A revised U.N. resolution will stop short of requiring peacekeepers to disarm Hezbollah but call for an embargo to prevent the group from bringing in arms from Iran and Syria, a senior Israeli official said on Thursday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the resolution would also call for creation of "an emboldened UNIFIL", the U.N. force currently in Lebanon and long derided by Israel as ineffective.
No other details about the document were immediately available.
But the official said: "The (international) force will not have any mandate to disarm Hezbollah."
The official added that the resolution, aimed at ceasing a month of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, would also include "an embargo that will prevent the supply of arms to Lebanon that are not for the Lebanese army."
