Nasrallah downplays loss of Maroun al-Ras

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah downplayed in an interview published Monday Hizbullah's loss of the strategic border village of Maroun al-Ras, saying that Israel's media has hyped up the first major ground operation of the 13-day-old confrontation "as if it's the conquest of Stalingrad."

He said Israel's losses in the fighting for Maroun al-Ras showed the weakness of its army. Five IDF soldiers were killed in the fighting there.

There are now reports of fire fights around the Maroun al Ras bunkers. It looks like it wasn't completely cleared yet.
