Lebanese Troops Enter South Lebanon Amid Resistance
A 500 man Lebanese regular army unit moved into southern Lebanon near the Israeli border but was halted 10 miles from its objective by mortar and artillery fire from right wing Christian forces led by Saad Haddad and Sami Chidiac. The Christians, backed by Israel, view the unit as Syrian and blocking a border region. The advance followed Beirut's claim to act as a buffer between Palestinian guerrillas and Israel, while Israel questioned the Lebanese unit’s identity and patronage. In Camp David, President Carter summoned Mondale and top advisers for foreign policy talks, extending his stay to discuss issues with Vance Brown Brzezinski and Jordan.
