[16] At a point in the battle, the Hezbollah militants tried to kidnap the dead bodies of Egoz Unit personnel but were thwarted in this attempt.

[18] The Lebanese army said that an Israeli force crossed the Blue Line in Odaisseh and claimed they retreated after an incursion of about 400 meters.

The centre was full of his father's, the artist Abdel-Hamid Baalbaki (ar), collection of fine art and pottery, in addition to 2,000 manuscripts and books.
