As fighting in Maroun al-Ras came to a close on Tuesday, IDF troops killed five Hizbullah gunmen, including the movement's regional commander.
Several IDF soldiers were lightly wounded in the clashes and were evacuated under fire.
Earlier, Brigadier General of Division 91, Commander Gal Hirsch, revealed that troops operating in Bint Jbeil discovered war rooms with eavesdropping and surveillance equipment made by Iran, being used by Hizbullah against Israel.
They also found large cache of weapons and communications devices.
The IDF claimed to have killed some 50 gunmen in the two Hizbullah strongholds over the last two days.

Note to those who haven't follwed all [ :-) ] the posts today.
Allegra reported earlier that a Lebanese radio station reported that 25 Israeli soldiers had been killed in an ambush. Since it didn't appear in any other news sources most of us thought it was pure propaganda, but then there appeared a short note in an article on JPost web-site that a group of IDF soldiers had been ambushed in Maroun al-Ras and ahd to be evacuated under fire. The extent of the damages or the number of injured were unknown. For a long time that was all that was known about this incident, but now any fears can be laid to rest. As usual it was wishful thinking or pure propaganda by the Arabs.
