Israeli, Hezbollah troops clash at border towns
Military aims to push Hezbollah back to Litani River; Lebanese flee border
Israeli soldiers walk back along the Israel-Lebanon border after a mission in the Lebanese village of Kafar Kilathe, close to the Israeli village of Metula, early Tuesday.
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Heavy fighting raged Tuesday in the Lebanese border village of Aita al-Shaab, and Hezbollah television said 35 Israeli soldiers had been killed or wounded in the fighting. Israeli warplanes pounded Shiite Lebanese villages in many areas along the border and struck Hezbollah strongholds deep inside the country.
Three weeks after the war erupted when Hezbollah snatched two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid, Israel’s security cabinet agreed to step up its offensive. But Israeli forces met fierce resistance from Hezbollah guerrillas who reportedly killed three soldiers.
