Under the GAAs, all belligerents were to refrain from "committing warlike of hostile acts against the other party," that the areas of contact between the belligerent forces would be replaced by an Armistice Demarcation Line (ADL); and that military forces would withdraw from a zone extending 10 kilometres on each side of the ADLs. The Security Council stipulated, however, that the military observers of UNTSO would continue to function on the Armistice Demarcation Line after the termination of the mandate of UNIFIL. The UNEF operated from November 1956 to June 1967, supervising the ceasefire and the withdrawal of all forces initially in the Canal area and the Sinai Peninsula, and later along the Armistice Demarcation Line in Gaza and on the international frontier in the Sinai. |
