Israeli Forces Enter Lebanon Pursuing Palestinian Unit
Israeli troops backed by tanks and armored vehicles crossed into Lebanon to pursue a Palestinian suicide squad after a one hour battle inside Israel.

Independent accounts cite about 450 Israeli soldiers with tanks and APCs involved in the pursuit after three days of air strikes on southern Lebanon.
