It's an operational pause. Hizbollah is in a Catch-22. If it follows the UN, it disarms. Since it says it won't, it will be disarmed. The IDF gets a breather.
I recommend you read the article.

Israel will be hard pressed to start up almost no matter what Hezbollah does and certainly if it just rearms- forget disarms.
I believe this cease fire at this very inopportune time reversed any good the Bush Doctrine ever accomplished.

Who pray tell is going to disarm Hezbollah? The mandate doesn't call for it the last I heard. The Lebanese army isn't going to do it either.
This is just one more instance of the U.N. sticking it's long nose and blind eyes into a situation for which it hasn't clue one.
Do you actually see the French disarming Hezbollah? Really?
