The UN has ruled out disarming Hizbollah by force. UN envoy Terje Roed-Larsen says it might not even be possible to force Hizbollah to stop its activities.

Roed-Larsen says it would mean sending soldiers into the south of Lebanon, where even Israel couldn't survive. And into the Bekka Valley, where Syria was forced out of.

The UN says it's not insisting that Hizbollah lays down its arms - they want the militia to join the Lebanese Army.
