Isreal Withdraws Troops

True to their word, and in full acceptance of the UN Resolution 1701 Israel has announced troops will have left Lebanon by this weekend.

The withdrawal would end a more than two-month troop presence in Lebanon and complete the transfer of security responsibilities along the border to the Lebanese army and a beefed-up U.N. peacekeeping force.

Under the U.N.-brokered cease-fire, a 15,000-strong U.N. force is to deploy in the south to maintain the cessation of hostilities and assist the Lebanese army in re-establishing control over Hezbollah's southern stronghold.

About 5,000 international troops already have been deployed in south Lebanon, along with 9,000 Lebanese troops.

We now wait and see if the Lebanese fuflill their part of the deal and disarm Hezbullah
