#1 Top Israeli officials have been working to coordinate the pullout with Palestinian leaders to prevent militant attacks during the evacuation..

Just issue one warning: any attack as Israelis depart will meet with an intense bombardment of the attackers' positions, location and collateral damage be damned.

..and the Palestinian Authority has promised to give militant groups a voice in pullout plans in exchange for a promise to refrain from violence.

Translation: The PA has little, if any, control over "militants", and is forced to resort to pleading and appeasement in order to get something done.
