Wed, 26 Jul 2006 16:00:00 EST Mideast crisis--Blog from Jerusalem

JERUSALEM--Israel wants a international force with teeth to sit in southern Lebanon and prevent Hezbollah from continuing to act as an independent army there.

UNIFIL, the 1,990-person force that was deployed in 1978 to preserve the peace in southern Lebanon, is considered toothless by Israel. "It's only for looks," said a high-ranking Israeli military officer in a briefing with selected journalists in Tel Aviv.
