Israel has therefore committed ground forces that have fought fierce battles (with substantial Israeli casualties) for control of Hizballah positions at Maroun al-Ras, Bint Jebeil and a handful of smaller villages. But Israeli Defense Force officials say there are at least 170 more such Hizballah strongholds throughout southern Lebanon, and they admit that Israel would have to occupy the territory all the way up to the Litani River to have any chance of eliminating...
