"At 1340 [1040 gmt], an infantry unit of the Golani Brigade tried to advance into the road beteen Al-Qantarah and Atshit al-Qusayr. The unit was confronted by the mujahidin of the Islamic Resistance, which engaged in clashes with the unit, inflicting several casualties on it. The infiltrating force had to withdraw."
