Israeli forces push deeper into Lebanon
Fierce fighting was raging at the border today as Israeli troops moved deeper into Lebanon to besiege the biggest town close to the border – Bint Jbail, nicknamed the “capital of the resistance”.
An Israeli helicopter also crashed in northern Israel near the border after hitting an electrical wire while making an emergency landing, causing two casualties and starting a large brush fire atop a hill, the army said. Al-Arabiya television said the two were dead.
