...matter of what comprises a military operation. The way he sees it, the Russians aren't planning any big operations; the troops are just defending themselves." However Yeltsin views the conflict, it still looks very much like a war. Two weeks ago, Chechen rebels ambushed a Russian convoy and killed more than 70 soldiers. Last week they attacked Russian positions with rifles and grenades dozens of times each day, and the Russians responded with artillery and air strikes...
...southern Lebanon last week when, amid the sound of artillery fire, she heard on the vehicle's walkie-talkie that a refugee camp in nearby Qana had been hit by Israeli shells. As the truck made its way to the scene, several bombs exploded within 275 yds. of her convoy. This was nothing new for TIME's Beirut bureau chief. Marlowe has been perilously close to the action since she joined TIME in 1989. Her datelines include some of the world's most dangerous places: Kuwait, Iraq, Bosnia, Azerbaijan, Somalia, Algeria.

TYRE, LEBANON: A suicide bomber blew himself up today near an Israeli army convoy in Southern Lebanon, killing one soldier and wounding seven. Hizballah has claimed responsibility for the attack in the village of Taibeh, 2 1/2 miles from the Lebanese-Israeli border. The attack is the latest incident in the decade-long struggle between the Iranian-backed Hizbollah and Israeli forces occupying Southern Lebanon.
