Battle of Bint Jbeil
The Battle of Bint Jbeil was one of the main battles of the 2006 Lebanon War. Bint Jbeil (Arabic: بنت جبيل, Bint Jubayl) is a major town of some 20,000 (mainly Shia) inhabitants in Southern Lebanon. Although Brigadier-General Gal Hirsch announced on July 25 that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had "complete control" of Bint Jbeil, this statement was later discredited. In spite of three sustained attempts by the IDF to conquer the town, it remained in the hands of Hizbullah until the end of the war. The town was the scene of some of the fiercest fighting of the war, with both sides taking heavy losses. Two senior Israeli officers, including Major Roi Klein, were killed in the battle. Hizbullah similarly lost several commanders, most notably Khalid Bazzi, commander of the Bint Jbeil area.
