Security Council backs Lebanon ceasefire
The UN Security Council has unanimously approved a new resolution calling for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
The resolution calls for an end to hostilities, and for Israel to pull out as Lebanese troops and a stronger UN force deploy in the south.
The governments of Lebanon and Israel are both expected to discuss the plan over the weekend.
Hours earlier, Israel's PM Ehud Olmert ordered his army to prepare to widen its offensive in southern Lebanon. an adviser to Lebnaese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora gave the resolution a cautious welcome.
