Like this is going to work
Israel withdrew the last of its troops from Lebanon early Sunday, fulfilling a key condition of the Aug. 14 cease-fire that ended a monthlong war against Hezbollah guerrillas.
The pullout ended a nearly three-month troop presence in Lebanon and cleared the way for the full deployment of an international peacekeeping force that will police the border with the Lebanese army.

The way is cleared for "full deployment" of the international peacekeeping force that won't even dare to require the Hezbollah to give up their weapons as resolved by the UN.
The cease-fire also calls for the unconditional release of the soldiers. The United Nations has appointed a mediator to try to win the soldiers' freedom, most likely through a prisoner swap with Israel.
Unfortunate for those soldiers that their fate is in the hands of the UN.
