tion, but they are afraid to speak out."
Dori, whose father was killed fight-
ing for the SLA during its early years,
speaks fluent Hebrew, sports a pony-
tail and works as a bellboy at a hotel
in Herzliya. He is among about 2,500
civilians from southern Lebanon who
worked inside Israel.
"When the Israelis left, we only
hoped the Lebanese army would
come, but Hezbollah came instead
and we had no choice," he said.
Some people did have a choice.
Many of the SLA's Shi'ite Muslim
fighters — who made up about 60
percent of the militia — opted to stay
in Lebanon, hoping their ethnic ties
with Hezbollah would keep them
safe. There were few Shi'ites among
the refugees.
Christians felt less secure. "We
cannot go back," said one Christian
SLA member. "Anyone who has left
home as a traitor will be killed."
Refugees who have been in contact
with their relatives who stayed behind
say there were reports of Hezbollah
blowing up homes that belonged to
SLA officers. Other stories were being
told of Hezbollah taking over a local
church.
Hezbollah gunmen also ransacked
the home of the SLA's commander,
Gen. Antoine Lahad, who is now in
Israel.
But by Wednesday afternoon,
.there were few confirmed reports of
serious Hezbollah reprisals — and
most of the SLA members who stayed
in Lebanon were transferred to the
Lebanese authorities for trial.
Meanwhile, the refugees in Israel
realized the gates were quickly shut-
ting behind them.
Nairn Munther, a Druze SLA fight-
er, was standing at the roadside with
his family, desperate to catch a taxi
back to the border after hearing from
family members he would be safe. His
wife was in tears, realizing that they
could lose any chance to get their
home back if they did not move fast.
He was furious at Israel, despite
pledges from senior officials to help
all refugees start a new life. "We
served them, walked with them and
fought with them and they just
dropped us like dogs," said Munther.
"Why should I come here?"
As others came to terms with los-
ing their homes, they expected Israel
to make good on its promises.
"They have a moral obligation to
us," said one SLA fighter, speaking
fluent Hebrew. "We helped Israel a
lot over the years. All xve ask now is
that the Israelis please help us." El
