I-12 Israel withdraws from Lebanon... for Yom Kippur

Israel completes withdrawal from Lebanon
Witnesses said the Israelis began moving tanks and armored carriers out of a few pockets near the border in southern Lebanon after midnight.....Israeli military officials said the last soldiers returned to Israel around 2:30 a.m., ahead of the onset of Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.

Israel sent the troops into Lebanon shortly after Hezbollah guerrillas abducted two soldiers and killed three others in a July 12 cross-border raid......Israel has been gradually withdrawing troops since ('06 August 14) when the cease-fire went into effect, from a peak of 30,000 during the fighting to several hundred soldiers.
