Under the original agreement, Israeli troops would vacate 80 percent of Hebron, a city of 94,000 Palestinians, and only patrol about 20 percent of the area, providing security for 450 Israeli settlers.

Lebanon's President Elias Hrawi said Thursday in Beirut that Lebanon will not stand for a unilateral Israeli-imposed deal. "Haaretz has a good reputation," says TIME's Johanna McGeary. "Lots of Israelis would like to get out of Lebanon. They are sick of their boys dying over there.
