IBL EL-SAQI, Lebanon - Israeli forces took control of the strategic southern hub of Marjayoun on Thursday and warned that its fight against Hezbollah could grow wider and more severe if diplomacy fails. <...> The seizure of the southern town of Marjayoun and nearby areas overnight appeared to be an attempt to consolidate bases in southern Lebanon before any possible push northward. It gives Israel an important foothold for any deeper drives into the country.
Marjayoun — a mostly Christian city about five miles from the Israeli border — was used as the command center for the Israeli army and its allied Lebanese militia during an 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon that ended in 2000. The high ground around Marjayoun, including the village of Blatt, overlook the Litani River valley, one of the staging sites for the relentless Hezbollah rocket assault on northern Israel.
Israel suffered its worst one-day military losses on Wednesday, with 15 soldiers killed, most in other areas of the south away from the Marjayoun area.
Taking command of Marjayoun was not considered a key battlefield victory since the city gives little support to Hezbollah. But reaching the site required passing through Hezbollah country, the scene of fierce fighting.
Hezbollah claimed it destroyed 13 Israeli tanks. Israel did not immediately give a tally of its losses.

Hizbollah fights Israeli push into Lebanon
By Karamallah Daher
MARJAYOUN, Lebanon (Reuters) - Hizbollah guerrillas fought Israeli troops pushing further into southeast Lebanon on Thursday, though an Israeli cabinet minister said plans for a deeper ground assault were on hold to give diplomacy a chance. <...> [ и приводит заявление местного жителя, который видел 2 горящих танка и говорил про хизбалонов, воюющих там - К]
The Israeli infantry advance towards Khiam was followed by tanks that drew intense Hizbollah fire. "I can see two tanks burning some 500 metres from Marjayoun," one resident said.
A third tank arrived later and removed several casualties, he said, adding that Hizbollah fighters were raining rocket and mortar fire on the Israeli force between Marjayoun and Khiam.
