A member of the now disbanded South Lebanon Army - Israel's former ally in southern Lebanon - has appealed to Jerusalem to be granted political asylum in the Jewish state.
At press time it is not known what Israel's response will be to this request made by a man identified only by the alias of Ibrahim.
He reportedly fled to Israel with his wife and two children on August 24 and is now living in Nahariya - the Israeli town frequently targeted by Hizb'allah rocket fire in the recent war.
Many Israelis are deeply ashamed at the way the governent of Prime Minister Ehud Barak betrayed the SLA fighters and their families after he decided to unilaterally pull the IDF out of the security zone, abandoning the Lebanese who had enjoyed a close freindship with Israel to the Hizb'allah.
