[bemildred]

Jerusalem - Israel has agreed to arrangements with several Western governments for a major evacuation of foreign nationals from Lebanon on Wednesday involving 20 vessels, a senior army commander told AFP.

"Twenty boats are going to be able to leave Lebanon on Wednesday against seven on Tuesday and just two on Monday," the commander said, asking not to be identified.

"The Israeli military and the military attachés of various embassies represented in Israel have agreed on arrangements dealing, in particular, with the sea routes these vessels must use.

"The main thing is to avoid the slightest problem," he said, adding that he had no details on the nationalities being evacuated on Wednesday.
