Israeli forces will begin a new phase of their withdrawal from south Lebanon this Sunday, it was announced today.

It will be preliminary to Israel’s withdrawal to a six-mile deep security belt along the Lebanese-Israel border which was the original objective of the Lebanese operation that began March 15.
