Bekaa Valley - t71 vs merkava, did it happen?

Hello,

In the past i remember that this was considered a first encounter between Merkava and T 72 which ended favorably for Merkava. Recently while surfing through internet i found several claims, that this combat actually never took place, one version was, that T 72s were actually ambushed by antitank missiles from flank, some other claiming yet different story. I was not able to find a reliable source which would set things right. Has anyone found a reliable source that could confirm there was no engagment between t 72and merkava?
