Blockade
  
The blockade, in force since the war erupted after Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers on July 12, was "not only being  imposed on Lebanon but also the United Nations and (Security  Council) Resolution 1701", he said.
  
The resolution brought a halt to 34 days of deadly clashes between Israel and the Hezbollah and called for the blockade to be lifted.
  
Berri, who called the sit-in during a visit on Thursday to south Lebanon, which bore the brunt of the fighting, told the mass-circulation daily An-Nahar that it would continue "night and day until the lifting of the blockade".
  
Before the closure is lifted, Israel insists on a significant deployment of foreign forces, as also called for by Resolution 1701, to curb arms deliveries to Hezbollah which has defied Security Council calls for its disarmament.
