Israeli troops were reported to have moved 30 tanks into their self-proclaimed “security zone” in southern Lebanon, security sources reported in Beirut. The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the armor was concentrated in the northernmost salient of the Israeli-occupied zone that juts into the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon. The reported buildup could not immediately be confirmed. The security sources also reported that a militiaman of the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army was killed and four were wounded when guerrillas ambushed them in the Bekaa Valley.
