ISRAEL has withdrawn from about 90 per cent of the territory it held in south Lebanon during its 34-day war there against Hezbollah guerrillas, and hopes to be out completely by the end of the week.
Israel is satisfied with the deployment of UN and Lebanese forces in the area as outlined in the cease-fire deal, the officials added.
"We have to co-ordinate with the new and old forces of the United Nations and Lebanon," said Miri Eisin, a spokeswoman for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
