Long-term Lebanon involvement
for IDF likely, general says
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
South Lebanon Army (SLA)
will require 18-24 months
before it can take control of
most of the areas of South
Lebanon now administered
by the Israel Defense Force,
according to the SLA's
commander, Gen. Antoine
Lehad.
Gen. Lehad, in an inter-
view published Tuesday in
the Israeli army weekly
Bamahane, said that the
SLA would have to increase
its manpower from the pre-
sent 2,000 to a force of 6,000
before it could improve to
the point where it can oper-
ate independently of the
IDF. It now relies heavily on
the IDF and even when it
attains the required
strength, the IDF would
have to protect south Leba-
non from attacks from out-
side forces, Gen. Lahad said.
The interview was pub-
lished on the eve of the sec-
ond anniversary of Israel's
invasion of Lebanon, a war
that has to date cost the IDF
584 dead and about 3,400
wounded and has created
painful divisions in Israel.
Israel meanwhile, will
not approach the Lebanese
government for any deal
aimed at the withdrawal of
the Israel Defense Force
from south Lebanon. But it
will consider any proposal
offered by the Beirut re-
gime, David Kimche, direc-
tor General of the Foreign
Ministry said this week.
"We will not run after
them, neither do we intend
to repeat the process of
Khalde ' and Kiryat
Shemona," Kimche said. He
dainaged last weekend,
when it struck amine three
kilometers south of Kamed
E-Luz near Syrian lines in
the eastern sector of the
front. There were no casual-
ties.
In Tel Aviv, Gen. Ehud
Barak, Chief of Military In-
telligence,' said last week -
that attacks on Israel De-
fense Force personnel in
south Lebanon will con-
tinue for some time. He said
most of the recent attacks
have been carried out by
local Lebanese residents,
either for money or ideolog-
ical motivation.
Gen. Barak said in a radio
interview that some of the
groups attacking IDF per-
sonnel acted on orders from
Lebanese influenced by
Iran and others 'affiliated
with the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization. The at-
tacks will continue, he said,
until a Lebanese armed
force capable of preventing
terrorist activity is formed
to replace the IDF in south
Lebanon. That will take
some time, he said.
Nevertheless, Kimche
said, if the government of
Lebanon offers Israel pro-
posals that would make
feasible the withdrawal of
the IDF from south Leba-
non, "we shall be pragmatic
and consider them."
In a related development,
Lebanese Moslems staged a
general strike Monday
against the • continued
presence of Israeli forces in
south Lebanon. The strike
was effective in Moslem
areas but largely disre-
garded in Christian zones.
Israeli troops patrolled
areas affected by the strike.
Tires were burned on the
coastal road south of Sidon,
briefly halting traffic. Many
merchants observed the
strike nominally. while
their show windows were
plastered over with strike
notices, business as usual
was conducted inside.
On Sunday, an Israeli
soldier suffered minor in-
juries when his vehicle was
shaken by a remote-
controlled explosive charge
near the coastal town of
Sarafand, a Shiite Moslem
stronghold in south Leba-
non. The soldier was treated
for bruises on his cheek.
An Israeli armored per-
sonnel carrier was also

to inclement weather, the
parade was nevertheless
"the largest assembly of
people in support of Israel
anywhere in the world out-
side of Israel," as the spon-
