...Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Two more Israeli soldiers died in a subsequent attack. Last week 395 Palestinians who have been stranded in southern Lebanon since being deported by Israel last December agreed to a plan that would return just under half of them to the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip next month.

But a Palestinian leader has told TIME the plan is being discussed in secret talks between the Israelis and the Palestine Liberation Organization.
