Destruction's over! Israel to withdraw troops from Lebanon this weekend

After pounding tiny Lebanon for over a month with deadly ammunition, Israel has finally decided to return to the barracks by this weekend. "Israel intends to complete a troop withdrawal from Lebanon by the weekend", contends Israeli Defence Minister Amir Peretz.

For the uninitiated, Israel targeted Hezbollah after the latter captured two Israeli soldiers and killed eight in a July 12 cross-border raid. In the battle that ensued for 34 days, nearly 1200 people in Lebanon, mostly civilians, and 157 Israelis, two-thirds of them soldiers, were killed. Israel's zero-tolerance towards terrorism has not gone down too well with most countries. Israel was rightly condemned by major countries of the world. After all, does this offensive guarantee that Hezbollah and Hamas will mind their own business and not create any trouble for the Israel? I doubt!

The situation in the area remains tense and extremely volatile. "We hope there won't be any mishaps in coordinating with the Lebanese army and the international forces, and that everything will go according to the planned timetable," hopes Mr Peretz.
