Israeli Tanks, Troops Raid Lebanese Town

Israeli Tanks, Troops Raid Lebanese Town: "Israeli tanks and hundreds of troops moved in and out of Lebanon on Saturday, taking over a village, entering a U.N. observation post and engaging Hezbollah militants by land, sea and air as part of the country's limited ground campaign. Meanwhile, the Israeli military said that Hezbollah guerrillas attacked a military base near the border, wounding one soldier.

The Israeli soldiers -- backed by artillery and tank fire -- took control of the large Lebanese village of Maroun al-Ras, military officials said on condition of anonymity."
