Peretz to U.N. Chief: Lebanon Ceasefire is in Jeopardy

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 Hizbullah, 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."

Dunno if u remember
but ...
according to some sources during and after july 2006, the elimination of Hezbollah was a necessity before attacking Iran ... in april 2007
dunno now if it ll be the case or not ...h
Of course I remember, but I thought either Israel now know what they're up to and are preparing better, or if they will do what they did last summer, the same outcome will occur and no body wants to do the same mistake twice.
As for Hezbollah... well let's not go there.
It's a scary thought.
