The villages lie just outside the zone. Apparently they hope to benefit from the relative quiet of the security zone and from opportunities for trade and commerce with Israel, senior IDF sources said. A decision is expected after it is ascertained that a majority of the villagers favor incorporation. Acording to IDF sources, the security zone set up after Israel completed its withdrawal from Lebanon last June, has been a success. Cooperation between the local population and the SLA has icreased significantly and the zone is enjoying a period of economic prosperity. The population of the zone is put at 220,000. According to SLA commander Gen. Antoine Lehad, there is no shortage of volunteers for his force which numbers 2,400 men plus IDF advisers and other personnel. The cooperation of this popula- tion has resulted in better in- telligence to warn of attacks by pro-Syrian Lebanese and oher hostile elements. Several attacks on SLA posi- tions at the northern edge of the zone were reported during the past 24 hours. The SLA re- sponded with tank and mortar fire. According to SLA sources, the number of Palesinians tak- ing part in these attacks is in- creasing. - I
