Israel Crushes Militia as Beirut Occupation Deepens
Israeli tanks and troops overran the main Lebanese militia resistance in west Beirut defying US calls to withdraw.

Israel denied taking over the embassy, while reports noted raids on the Iranian Embassy and house-to-house searches in the central shopping district. The Mourabitoun militia, Lebanon’s major leftist group allied with PLO guerrillas, was flushed from strongholds in a three-hour battle as Israel expanded control amid the invasion.
