UN vehicles and troops wait for clearance from the Israeli army to escort a Lebanese national across the border into Israel near the border village of Metulla Saturday Aug. 26, 2006. Relatives of former members of the South Lebanon Army, an Israeli-allied militia, have been crossing in recent days into Israel, seeking refuge from possible revenge attacks by Hezbollah in the wake of the latest fighting. Around 2,500 Lebanese members of the militia and dependants that fled to Israel in 2000, when the Israeli army pulled out of south Lebanon after an 18-year occupation are reported to have remained in Israel and become naturalized citizens.
