The UN Security Council on August 31 extended the mandate of the UNIFIL peacekeeping force for a period of a year but with a slight modification in the wording. Hassan Nasrallah took issue in a televised speech with a part of the resolution that states the peacekeeping force \u201cis allowed to conduct its operations independently.\u201d The UNIFIL force, which was first deployed more than four decades ago, has routinely coordinated its patrols and movements in its area of operations in the south with the Lebanese army. \u201cThis is a trap that the Israelis have set for Lebanon over many years,\u201d Nasrallah said, calling the resolution \u201ca violation of Lebanese sovereignty.\u201d Nasrallah lambasted the Lebanese government for allowing the resolution through and warned that it could give rise \u201cto great dangers in the area south of the Litani\u201d river. On September 13, UNIFIL reacted to Hezbollah concerns by assuring it was still working closely with the Lebanese army, a statement Nasrallah welcomed in his Saturday speech. UNIFIL was set up in 1978 to monitor the withdrawal of Israeli forces after they invaded Lebanon in reprisal for a Palestinian attack. It was beefed up in 2006 after Israel and Hezbollah fought a 34-day war, and the 10,500-strong force is tasked with monitoring a cease-fire between the two sides.<br \/>\nIsrael and Lebanon are still technically at war.
