[Ynet News] Ronny Sofer - Israel's security cabinet has decided that Israel will withdraw from the northern part of the Lebanese border village of Ghajar and hand over responsibility to the UN peacekeeping force. Israel occupied the Lebanese part of the village to prevent arms smuggling and infiltrations. According to the plan, the UN may monitor both halves of the village. Residents who wish to do so will continue to maintain Israeli ID cards. Everything ranging from medical services to infrastructure repairs will come from the Israeli side. The UN will be entrusted with preventing the entry of Hizballah forces into the village.
