European sources reveal plans for a US-led multinational force to replace UNIFIL, with Sidon's Awali River area as its first base.

European sources who spoke with Arab officials on the sidelines of General Assembly meetings in New York revealed that a multinational force under US supervision will be an alternative to "UNIFIL" and will take the Awali River area in Sidon as its first and important pivot point. The force's mission will include preventing Hezbollah fighters from infiltrating and smuggling missiles into areas north and south of the Litani River, according to Al-Nidaa Al-Watan secrets.
