Lebanon Exit Begins:
JERUSALEM True to
the game plan announced last
week, Israel and its defense
forces began the First phase

port city which Israel has
occupied since its launching of
Operation Peace for Galilee in
June, 1982.
A convoy of some 75 jeeps,
trucks and armored personnel
carriers left Sidon at dawn on
Sunday for the move south-
ward to a new line south and
east of the port city. Accord-

phase is to be completed by
Feb. 18.
MEANWHILE,. Israeli
officials have said that the
Lebanese government must
agree to the stationing of
United Nations Interim Forces
troops in the evacuated area.
If it does not, according to
these officials, a resumption
of sectarian violence involving
Moslem, Druze, Christian and
Palestinian contending forces
is most likely.
Liaison officials of the IDF
at the same time warned resi-
dents of Sidon that Israel
would not be responsible for
what happens once the IDF
leaves.
In response to these warn-
ings, according to sources in
Jerusalem, Lebanon still
refuses the deployment of
UNIF1L troops. One more
meeting of the military talks
between Israel and Lebanon at
Nakura was scheduled for
