MARJAYOUN, Lebanon (Reuters) - Israeli troops seized the Christian towns of Marjayoun and Qlaiah in south Lebanon on Thursday, witnesses said, even though Israel says it has put off plans for a broader offensive against Hizbollah guerrillas.
A Reuters journalist said Israeli troops were moving on foot through Marjayoun, about 8 km inside Lebanon. He said the Israelis were also inside Qlaiah and the village of Burj al-Molouk, with tanks deployed on roads nearby.
